Performance estimation of three dimensional free space optoelectronic switching network

Although a great deal of researchs have been carried out over the last decade. A new approaches for devising optoelectronic interconnects have been proposed, more detailed analysis of the performance parameters such as power, latency are presenting here..In this paper, we present a preliminary analysis of the system parameters of a new optoelectronic interconnect technologies called 3-D free space optoelectronic interconnect network. Although the optoelectronic interconnect offers higher data rates and less power per bit compared to electronic interconnects, however, the bipolar encoding scheme on the source plane and the detector plane means that larger area and volume will be needed.
