JSSC 2006 Best Paper Award Presented to J.B. Ashbrook, H.-M. Bae, S. Chopra, J. Park, N.R. Shanbhag and A.C. Singer

"This paper heralds a new era in the design of integrated circuits by demonstrating the feasibility of implementing sophisticated communication techniques employed in wireless and other wireline channels at optical line rates. Such techniques are critical for the future deployment of 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s links and thus represent a new opportunity for circuit designers." K. Nagaraj, JSSC Editor, 2007
