CMOS "smart pixel" for free-space optical communication
Fully integrated imaging receivers present a method of low power free-space optical communication with advantages over radio frequency and single element optical communication for a variety of network scenarios. This paper discusses the theoretical performance of such receivers and the design of a single “smart pixel” for use in a 2.5 Mbps integrated CMOS imaging receiver. The receiver has a si...
متن کاملPhotolithography-free polymer optical waveguide arrays for optical backplane bus.
In this paper, an innovative 3-to-3 bi-directional optical bus architecture based on multimode polymer waveguides with embedded 45° micro-mirrors was successfully demonstrated. With a lithography-free imprinting process by high quality electroplated metallic mold, the device can be precisely replicated with a low fabrication cost. Superior to any point-to-point optical waveguide, the implemente...
متن کاملAn Intra - Chip Free - Space Optical Interconnect : Extended Technical Report ∗
Continued device scaling enables microprocessors and other systems-on-chip (SoCs) to increase their performance, functionality, and hence, complexity. Simultaneously, relentless scaling, if uncompensated, degrades the performance and signal integrity of onchip metal interconnects. These systems have therefore become increasingly communications-limited. The communications-centric nature of futur...
متن کاملVCSEL Based Smart Pixel Array Technology Enables Chip-to-Chip Optical Interconnect
This paper describes most recent development and demonstration of a VCSEL-based smart pixel array (SPA) technology for chip-to-chip interconnect. This technology is based on Honeywell's commercial successful 850nm VCSEL components, incorporates both monolithic and hybrid integration techniques, and aims to address anticipated interconnect bottleneck in networking interconnect fabric and between...
متن کاملDesign, implementation, and characterization of an optical power supply spot-array generator for a four-stage free-space optical backplane.
The design and implementation of a robust, scalable, and modular optical power supply spot-array generator for a modulator-based free-space optical backplane demonstrator is presented. Four arrays of 8 x 4 spots with 6.47-mum radii (at 1/e(2) points) pitched at 125 mum in the vertical direction and 250 mum in the horizontal were required to provide the light for the optical interconnect. Tight ...
