Abstract

Summary form only given. Due to the increasing demand for high-bandwidth applications, multi-processor systems and communication systems are demanding very low cost, high-bandwidth optical interconnects. We present results on a 12-channel parallel optical link module (PONI Project) with each channel operating at a bit rate up to 2.5 GBd providing an aggregate bit rate up to 30 GBd. Each parallel optical link module is either a 12-channel transmitter module or a 12-channel receiver module with dimensions of 35 mm/spl times/16 mm/spl times/10 mm.
