Abstract

The use of optical interconnections between processors, boards, chips, and gates in electronic digital systems to overcome the current performance limitations is described. The advantages of optical interconnections in relation to the interconnection distance, the data capacity, and the interconnection functions are presented. The devices which will support practical implementation of optical interconnections and the integration of optical interconnection devices are discussed. The development of future integrated optoelectronic materials, processing, and fabrication technologies to support integrated optical electronics is also discussed.<>
