What is Optical Computing? • The goal of optical interconnections • to replace either some or all of the metallic traces that provide the electrical connections on the printed-circuit boards by light beams, either in air or optical fibers. • Electrical systems integrated circuits for processing information printed circuit boards for mounting the integrated circuits and providing interconnections between these circuits.
Types of Interconnections • On-chip • Chip-to-chip on a multi chip module ( MCM ) • MCM-to-MCM on a board • Board-to-board
Why Optical Interconnection? • Very High Speed • Higher Bandwidth • Higher Interconnection Densities • Lower Crosstalk • Inherent Parallelism • Immunity for Electromagnetic Interference and Ground Loops • Higher Fan-In/Fan-Out Capability • Lower Attenuation
Is it Possible? • Opto-Electronic (OE) devices have now been developed to a point that they can enable high speed and high-density FSOI (Free Space Optical Interconnection) • Board-to-board interconnect solutions using FSOI are now being evaluated • Development of devices: VCSELS (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting LaserS) for data input SLMs (Spatial Light Modulators) such as liquid-crystal and acousto-optic devices) for putting information on the light beams High-speed APDs (Avalanche Photo-Diodes), or so-called Smart Pixel devices, for data output
How? • Optical interconnections require : Transceiver Receiver Propagation medium Packaging architecture Converting electrical signals to optical ones. usually contains VCSELs Convert the optical signals back to electrical ones usually contain p-i-n photodiodes and transimpedance amplifiers Fiber or Free Space Multimode fiber is the most common medium for commercial interconnect products To integrate OE devices and optical components in a way that is fully compatible with conventional electronic multi-chip packages
Optical Interconnection within Computing System • Optics Inside the Box • Optics Outside the Box
Bottlenecks to be Overcome • Height of the Optical Package: micro-optical elements • Signal Integrity and Synchronization Issues • Thermal Stability of the assembly • Effective CAD Tools : capturing both electronic circuits and sub systems as well as optoelectronic and optical components and sub-systems • Ultra Low Voltage Light Modulation • Cost associated with FSOI : manufacturing volume

Optical Transpose Interconnection System • Bi-directional Optical system • Supports Bit-Parallel Communication • Suitable for Multistage Interconnection System Back
Parallel Computing using Optical Interconnection • To achieve teraflops performance, more and more processors are incorporated into a single system :massively parallel processing (MPP) system • VLSI technology is not suitable for interconnecting communication intensive systems ; electrical properties such as resistance, capacitance, and inductance • Optical interconnections can be built at various levels, providing chip-to-chip, module-to-module, board-to-board, and node-to-node communications Back Next
Networking using optical interconnection • Demand for Bandwidth ; growth of data traffic • need for optical interconnection networks for wide-area, metropolitan-area, and even local-area networks • Solution to limited bandwidth, lower data rates, attenuation in the line BackNext
Fully packaged FSOI system • overall packaging consists of the assembly of two different packaging modules: the Opto-electronic module (multi-chip carrier and the OE chips (VCSEL,MSM and silicon chips), and the optics (FSOI)module • 48 optical channels each operating up to 800Mb/s • optical efficiencies exceeding 90% • inter-channel crosstalk less than -20dB • package less than 5x5x7 cm3.
