Gradient-index planar optics for optical interconnections

Abstract: Use of a gradient-index (GRIN) substrate is proposed as a novel signal-propagation medium for planar optics. The GRIN substrate provides planar optics designers not only a three-dimensional light propagation space but also smart optical diffraction-limited imaging. Experimental results on the imaging of an input signal to multiple destinations by the GRIN planar optics are presented.

“…On the other hand, considering g∕κ ≪ 1, the period p z is approximated to 2π∕g. According to published data [15][16][17], the values of the gradient parameter g, for conventional GRIN devices operating in the visible domain, are in the range from 10 2 m −1 to 10 4 m −1 . For the extreme gradient index g 10 4 m −1 , and the assumed quotient g∕κ 10 −4 , we obtain the short revival period p z 2π × 10 −4 m, while the large two-fold split and revival distances are z S ≈ 3.14 m and z R ≈ 6.28 m, respectively.…”

“…In our study, several planar optics schemes to detect parallel optical packet addresses in WDM switching networks, to perform a space-variant processing such as fractional correlation, and to construct multistage interconnection networks, have been demonstrated in a three-dimensionally integrated planar waveguide structure made of glass blocks. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37] We have been able to demonstrate the graded index substrate concept by using six 1/4-pitch graded index rod lenses and a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). The graded index planar optics can be further extended to the use of two-dimensional array of VCSEL microlasers and modulators in realizing massively parallel interconnects in three-dimension.…”

“…A lot of time after that date, the gradient index glass rods was introduced as imaging devices in 1970 [2]. Since then, the GIM has been the subject of extensive research in optics, and several works have been devoted to its practical applications, e.g., in imaging, optical communication, optical sensing and optical fibre manufacturing [3][4][5]. In the past few years, the propagation properties of various model beams through GIM have been investigated including those of cosine-Gaussian beams [6], Lorentz-Gaussian beams [7], Airy-Gaussian vortex beams [8], hollow sinh-Gaussian beams [9], chirped Airy beams [10], Gaussain vortex beams [11] and higher-order cosh-Gaussian beams [12].…”
