Demonstrator Testbed for Intra-Chip Optical Interconnections: Combining Multi-Channel Free-Space Plastic Micro-Optical Modules and VCSEL Based OE-FPGAs
We fabricated and replicated in semiconductor compatible plastics a multi-channel free-space optical interconnection module designed to establish intra-chip interconnections on an Opto-Electronic Field Programmable Gate Array (OE-FPGA). The micro-optical component is an assembly of a refractive lenslet-array and a high-quality microprism. Both components are prototyped using deep lithography wi...

Future advances in the application of photonic interconnects will involve the insertion of parallel-channel links into Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs) [1]. These will make use of new device-level components such as arrays of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSEL's) [2] or arrays of Micro Cavity Light-Emitting Diodes (MCLED’s) [3] and low power photoreceiver circuits [4]. One of the challenge...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of a multi - channel micro - optical bridge for multi - Gb / s , free - space intra - MCM interconnects
We demonstrate a 2.5Gb/s optical intra-MCM data link with a four-channel micro-optical bridge. This bridge was fabricated by deep proton lithography and monolithically integrates cylindrical lenses and micro-mirrors. 1. Introduction Future advances in the application of photonic interconnects will involve the insertion of parallel-channel links into Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs) [1]. These will mak...

Computer architects are now studying a new generation of multi-core chip architectures that may integrate hundreds of processing cores and memory banks on a single chip employing a shared memory organization. A system may consist of many such chips (nodes) and an increasing demand to support high bandwidth and shared-address space between nodes. Furthermore, the inter-chip and intra-chip interc...
