“…These transistors functioned well, and a switching network utilizing 4 4 arrays of smart pixels, each composed of 21 FET's and 11 modulators, was demonstrated at a clock rate of 155 Mb/sec [11]. However, going to larger size arrays exceeded the yield of the process.…”

“…1,2 The intrinsic limitations of electrical interconnection networks has led system designers to consider short-distance optical interconnects as a means of increasing their performance. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The optoelectronic technologies being considered in-clude two-dimensional arrays of both surfaceemitting and modulator-based devices integrated with arrays of electronic processing elements, called smart-pixel arrays ͑SPA's͒. A class of SPA's well suited for optical backplane interconnection applications uses the hybrid-SEED ͑self-electrooptic device͒ technology.…”

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 ϫ 4 spots with 6.47-m radii ͑at 1͞e 2 points͒ pitched at 125 m in the vertical direction and 250 m in the horizontal were required to provide the light for the optical interconnect. Tight system tolerances demanded careful optical design, robust optomechanics, and effective alignment techniques. Issues such as spot-array generation, polarization, power efficiency, and power uniformity are discussed. Characterization results are presented.

“…The fundamental operation of one class of freespace optical systems [1][2][3] relies on the absorption of light within multiple-quantum-well 1MQW2 modulators in devices such as the self-electro-optic-effect device. Large arrays of laser beams are generated by diffractive elements and imaged onto arrays of modulators integrated on an optoelectronic chip.…”

Design and demonstration of a high-speed, multichannel, optical-sampling oscilloscope

Free-space digital optical systems have demonstrated the capability to provide thousands of optical connections between optoelectronic chips. This dense concentration of channels creates substantial challenges in monitoring individual connections for diagnostic purposes without compromising performance. Prom the concept of stroboscopic techniques, we have designed and constructed a multichannel optical diagnostic tool that operates analogously to an electronic-sampling oscilloscope. The tool is economically constructed by the use of commercially available video cameras and video-enhanced personal computers. An integrated software application operates the tool and displays multiple-channel waveforms. We demonstrate the oscilloscope-sampling optical waveforms of a two-dimensional optoelectronic modulator array operating at data rates from 0.5 to 4 Gbits/s.
