Abstract

This paper presents the concepts of a board-to-board free space optical interconnection scheme that will support a bus architecture. While the technology required to implement this optical scheme is very compatible with existing electronic packaging technologies, it promises to be able interconnect many more boards together without serious impedance matching or termination problems encountered by electrical interconnects at high speed. Experimental demonstration of the optical scheme is in progress.
