Abstract

An optical holographic backplane interconnect system capable of high-speed information transmission between optoelectronic transmitter/receiver boards is described. Using conjugate pairs of transmission gratings in a folded reflection geometry, a practical method of insulating the interconnect system from wavelength variations due to temperature or power fluctuations can be achieved. The final demonstration unit was developed in a fully packaged form and has the potential for reconfigurable interconnects and may serve as a testbed for a variety of interconnect networks and hardware protocols
