“…While there is still considerable debate with regard to the precise role for photonics (Huang et al, 2003;Grubb et al, 2006;Tucker, 2008;Miller 2010), new power-efficient, cost-effective and broadband approaches are actively pursued. Supercomputers and data centers already deploy photonics to simplify and manage interconnection and are set to benefit from progress in parallel optical interconnects (Adamiecki et al, 2005;Buckman et al, 2004;Lemoff et al, 2004;Patel et al, 2003;Lemoff et al, 2005;Shares et al, 2006;Dangel et al, 2008). However, it is much more efficient to route the data over reconfigurable wiring, than to overprovision the optical wiring.…”

“…In order to realize WDM transceivers based on multi-wavelength VCSEL arrays, however, a low-cost and compact multiplexer of each VC-SEL output is necessary. So far either direct coupling or use of dielectric multilayer filters has been demonstrated [8,9]. We have developed hollow waveguide optical devices exhibiting various unique features of temperature insensitivity and large tunability and so on [10].…”

A tapered hollow waveguide multiplexer is proposed to combine the output of a GaInAs/GaAs multi-wavelength VCSEL array for coupling into a multi-mode fiber. The design of the proposed hollow waveguide is presented based on ray optics. We demonstrate multiplexing of 4-channel output of a GaInAs/GaAs VCSEL array formed on a patterned substrate for coupling into a multi-mode fiber. The proposed hollow waveguide multiplexer is useful for realizing compact and lowcost WDM transceiver with a multi-wavelength VCSEL array for high capacity short reach optical networks.
