Prospects for optical interconnections

Abstract

It is clear that optics will have an important role in the interconnections within future high-performance electronic equipment in helping to overcome the limitations of conventional electrical-interconnect technology, and a number of laboratories are developing the component technology and subsystem concepts for the practical realization of such interconnects. Although the advantages, technology, and characteristics of optical interconnects are dependent on the level of the system hierarchy at which they operate, it is clear that, at all levels, a key to the wide- scale introduction of optics within electronic systems and the most striking difference with the optoelectronic technology developed for telecommunications transmission applications is the availability of low-cost optoelectronic components and, more particularly, component arrays, together with the ability to mount and align these components in a manner that minimizes both the physical volume and cost.
