Abstract

In recent years, many kinds of optical board-to-board interconnection systems had been proposed and some of them were demonstrated[1-9]. Basic interconnection systems using laser diodes and photo detectors connected through free space[6] or Selfoc lenses[5] were shown. In these systems basic concept is based on sets of one-to-one interconnections with free space. Another approach is using fibers. To achieve fixed many-to-many interconnections, optical fiber ribbon, laser diode arrays and detector arrays are usefull[3].
