Claim 15:
16. A method of powering and cooling a photonics in an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving a photonic signal in a waveguide, wherein the waveguide is located in a substrate with at least a first vertical portion of the substrate on a first side of the waveguide and a second vertical portion of the substrate on a second side of the waveguide;
flowing a working fluid through a microfluidic volume of the substrate proximate the waveguide;
receiving heat generated by the photonic signal in the waveguide with the working fluid to create hot working fluid;
exhausting the heat from the working fluid to create cold working fluid; and
recirculating the cold working fluid into the substrate.
