    摘要: Optical interconnect systems and methods are disclosed. An optical interconnect system includes a substrate, a first waveguide, and a free-space coupling structure. The first waveguide is disposed on the substrate. The free-space coupling structure is adjacent the first waveguide. The free-space coupling structure redirects light propagating through the first waveguide in a first direction out of the first waveguide in a second direction different from the first direction. An optical interconnect method comprises transmitting light through a first waveguide in a first direction; and redirecting the light out of the first waveguide in a second direction different from the first direction with a free-space coupling structure disposed in the first waveguide.

    摘要: A sliding banyan switching network is disclosed for signal switching in an electrical or an optical network. The sliding banyan network routes up to N signals through a plurality of stages, each containing a plurality of switches. The sliding banyan network determines when a signal reaches its destination address by keeping track of the number of successful consecutive routings through the stages of the network. When this number reaches a predetermined number, the signal has reached its destination. The nodes of each stage are formed on a single substrate and the interconnections are implemented by optical connections. Only a single input line and a single output line for each set of nodes connects the sliding banyan network to the external system.

    摘要: An optical interconnection for connecting a first integrated circuit to a second integrated circuit includes a plurality of light sources, a plurality of light detectors, a symmetric imaging system, and a plurality of beam steering elements, one for each of the plurality of light sources. Each of the beam steering elements is configured to steer light from its corresponding light source to a new angle which causes the symmetric imaging system to have an effective aperture closer to its plane of symmetry. A mirror may be inserted in the plane of symmetry of the imaging system that folds the system back upon itself, making the object plane and image plane co-incident.
