- Abstract :
Error-free transmission of image fiber-optic two-dimensional (2-D) parallel
interconnection using vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)/
photodiode (PD) arrays is demonstrated. Simple constructions of
transmitter/receiver modules are proposed. Optical alignment is achieved
without power-monitoring. Crosstalk from an adjacent channel was ƒ~34dB.
Misalignment tolerance for a BER of less than 10-9 was 85 mm. The results
clearly indicate that the interconnection system built around an image fiber
and 2-D VCSEL/PD arrays has promise for use in the highly parallel
high-density optical interconnects of the future.
