We have used short optical pulses to clock digital logic on CMOS chips, without using clock receivers. We present the benefits of this approach compared to conventional electrical clock distribution by evaluating the timing and power savings of this approach in a fan-out-of-four clock tree modeled after modern microprocessors.
