Guided-wave optical interconnects: design methodology development
Technological development is pushing chip performances higher every day. Feature sizes are decreasing, while chip size and data rates continue to rise. Optimal exploitation of this increasing number of faster devices per chip is often hampered by too slow a communication rate between interconnected integrated circuits [3]. The problem has already become a critical bottleneck in some application...
متن کاملDemonstration of a Monolithic Micro-Optical Bridge for Free-Space Intrachip Interconnects
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 کاملDemonstrator 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...
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...
متن کاملMultichip module with planar-integrated free-space optical vector-matrix-type interconnects.
Even in the semiconductor industry, free-space optical technology is nowadays seen as a prime option for solving the continually aggravating problem with VLSI chips, namely, that the interconnect technology has failed to keep pace with the increase in communication volume. To make free-space optics compatible with established lithography-based design and fabrication techniques the concept of pl...
