Abstract

In the present FAST-Net prototype there are 16 spatially separated clusters of 44 VCSELs and 44 photodetectors on each smart pixel chip, and there are 16 chips in the system. To fully exploit the smart pixel I/O density, the FAST-Net global optical interconnection module must provide flat, high resolution near distortion-free image fields, across a wide range of ray angles
