    摘要: Embodiments of a bidirectional 3-way optical splitter are described. This bidirectional 3-way optical splitter includes an optical splitter having: a first external node, a second external node, a third external node, and a fourth external node. In one mode of operation, the optical splitter may be configured to receive an external input optical signal on the first external node and to provide external output optical signals on the other external nodes. Moreover, in another mode of operation, the optical splitter may be configured to receive the external input optical signal on the third external node and to provide the external output optical signals on the other external nodes.

This array includes a first CM, a second CM coupled to the first CM, and a third CM coupled to the second CM. A given CM, which can be the first CM, the second CM or the third CM, includes a semiconductor die that is configured to communicate data signals with other CMs through electromagnetically coupled proximity communication. These proximity connectors are proximate to a surface of the semiconductor die. Moreover, the first CM and the third CM are configured to optically communicate optical signals with each other via the second CM through an optical signal path.

Moreover, the array includes first CMs mechanically coupled to first alignment features on the baseplate, and adjacent second CMs mechanically coupled to second alignment features on the baseplate. In this array, a given first CM is electrically coupled to a given set of electrical proximity connectors. Additionally, the array includes bridge components, wherein a given bridge component is electrically coupled to the second SCM and another set of electrical proximity connectors, which is electrically coupled to the set of electrical proximity connectors, thereby facilitating communication of other data signals between adjacent first CMs and second CMs via electrical proximity communication. Moreover, the given bridge component is optically coupled to the baseplate, thereby facilitating optical communication of the data signals between CMs via the baseplate.
