Abstract :
An optical interconnection technique using a high-silica guided-wave optical circuit composed of channel waveguides and a mixer is proposed for LSI interchip communications. An experimental 4-chip interconnection circuit has 1 Gbit/s transmission capacity performance with an optical power margin of 3 dB.
