An I/O bandwidth commensurate with a dramatically increasing on-chip computational
capability is highly desirable. Achieving this goal using board-level copper interconnects in …

Next-generation high-end data processing systems such as Internet switches or servers are
approaching aggregate bandwidths in excess of 1 Terabit per second. In the case of Internet …

This paper discusses short-distance optical interconnects for general-purpose distributed
digital systems. We describe the technology required to optically interconnect elements that …

The imaging capabilities of a multicore microstructured polymer optical fibre with a square
array of 112 air holes are demonstrated. Coherent imaging is achieved either by guiding …

3.18 electromagnetic radiation. The GRIN rod lens forms an image of the emitting means
onto the receiving means and overcomes problems associated with misalignment. Further …

Two-dimensional (2-D) polymeric multimode waveguide arrays with two reflection-mirrors
have been fabricated for optical interconnects between 2-D arrayed vertical-cavity surface …

A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser based bidirectional free-space optical interconnect
has been implemented to interconnect two printed circuit boards. A total of 512 clustered …

Reconfigurablele optical interconnects enable flexible and high-performance
communication in multi-chip architectures to be arbitrarily adapted, leading to efficient …

Recently, a number of successful free-space chip-to-chip and board-to-board optical
interconnects have been demonstrated. Here, we present some of the design rules that can …
