Abstract
An overview of the problems in generating a synchronous clock signal for electrical very large scale integration (VLSI) and multi-processor systems is given. Alternative clocking schemes using optical distribution techniques are then presented and compared with the electrical methods. Issues related to holographic signal distribution are discussed in detail. © 1989 SPIE.
