Optical Bus Interconnection System by Using Selfoc Lenses and Planar Microlens Arrays

Abstract

Optical interconnection in optical processing system or in electronic computer system has many potential advantages in terms of channel capacity, transfer rate and so on. Recently, many types of optical interconnection system have been proposed and examined[1,2]. Free-space (three-dimensional) optical system can deal with the large amount of information, however, it is difficult to achieve precise assembling and high durability.
