Abstract

The OETC is a landmark industry consortium of Martin Marietta, AT&T, Honeywell, and IBM, supported by ARPA, to develop key optoelectronic components that advance interconnect technology beyond current cost, speed, and density barriers. OETC´s structure includes a Users Application Group and a Research Associates Group for continuous technology exchange and user feedback, combining both military and commercial perspectives, goals, and strategies. The OETC is developing a testbed that integrates all board-to-board data paths of a high performance processor with optical data links
