Analysis of optical channel cross talk for free-space optical interconnects in the presence of higher-order transverse modes.
We analyze the effect of cross-talk noise on the performance of free-space optical interconnects (FSOIs). In addition to diffraction-caused cross talk, we consider the effect of stray-light cross-talk noise, an issue that, to the best of our knowledge, was not addressed previously. Simulations were performed on a microlens-based FSOI system using the modal composition and beam profiles experime...
متن کاملCombination of binary and analog lithography to fabricate efficient planar-integrated free-space optical (PIFSO) interconnects
Planar-integrated free-space optics is a highly suitable system concept for realizing densely packed parallel free-space optical short-range interconnects that are compatible with established design and fabrication methods of integrated microelectronics [1]. For use in real-world IT systems, however, the coupling efficiency of such PIFSO interconnects needs to surpass levels of the order of –15...
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...
متن کاملOptical Interconnects in Systems
Future enhancement of system performance will decreasingly rely on reduction in transistor dimensions. Rather, performance gains will increasingly come from improved hardware and software architectures and emerging technologies such as optical interconnects which provide a new design-space for system designers. It is possible that hybrid opto-electronic interconnects may revolutionize system im...
متن کاملReconfigurable Optical Interconnects for Computer Vision Applications
We evaluate the advantages of reconfigurable optical interconnects within massively parallel systems due to their ability to provide versatile application-dependent network configurations. Furthermore, they are being considered as alternatives to electronic interconnects within high-performance computers because of their advantages of high bandwidth, low wire density and low power requirement a...
