Power-efficient dual-rate optical transceiver
2005
Applied Optics
A dual-rate ͑2 Gbit͞s and 100 Mbit͞s͒ optical transceiver designed for power-efficient connections within and between modern high-speed digital systems is described. The transceiver can dynamically adjust its data rate according to performance requirements, allowing for power-on-demand operation. Dynamic power management permits energy saving and lowers device operating temperatures, improving the reliability and lifetime of optoelectronic-devices such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

... (VCSELs). To implement dual-rate functionality, we include in the transmitter and receiver circuits separate high-speed and low-power data path modules. The high-speed module is designed for gigabit operation to achieve high bandwidth. A simpler low-power module is designed for megabit data transmission with low power consumption. The transceiver is fabricated in a 0.5 m silicon-on-sapphire complementary metal-oxide semiconductor. The VCSEL and photodetector devices are attached to the transceiver's integrated circuit by flip-chip bonding. A free-space optical link system is constructed to demonstrate correct dual-rate functionality. Experimental results show reliable link operation at 2 Gbit͞s and 100 Mbit͞s data transfer rates with ϳ104 and ϳ9 mW power consumption, respectively. The transceiver's switching time between these two data rates is demonstrated as 10 s, which is limited by on-chip register reconfiguration time. Improvement of this switching time can be obtained by use of dedicated input-output pads for dual-rate control signals.
Performance-based adaptive power optimization for digital optical interconnects
2005
Applied Optics
Optical links are traditionally set to transmit maximum power for worst-case loss and consequently to dissipate more power than is required. We describe a technique to minimize power consumption based on the measured bit-error rate (BER) of the link. This technique uses a novel power-negotiation algorithm that optimizes the link power setting to achieve minimum power dissipation for a target BER. A 0.5 m complementary metal-oxide semiconductor optical transceiver chip was fabricated, and a

... pace optical interconnect system was built for validation. The results showed that the algorithm was able to find the optimum power settings for the VCSELs for a target BER and to account for dynamic changes such as variation in the optical loss in the system.
Multichip free-space global optical interconnection demonstration with integrated arrays of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers and photodetectors
1999
Applied Optics
The experimental optical interconnection module of the Free-Space Accelerator for Switching Terabit Networks ͑FAST-Net͒ project is described and characterized. Four two-dimensional ͑2-D͒ arrays of monolithically integrated vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers ͑VCSEL's͒ and photodetectors ͑PD's͒ were designed, fabricated, and incorporated into a folded optical system that links a 10 cm ϫ 10 cm multichip smart pixel plane to itself in a global point-to-point pattern. The optical system effects

... a fully connected network in which each chip is connected to all others with a multichannel bidirectional data path. VCSEL's and detectors are arranged in clusters on the chips with an interelement spacing of 140 m. Calculations based on measurements of resolution and registration tolerances showed that the square 50-m detector in a typical interchip link captures approximately 85% of incident light from its associated VCSEL. The measured optical transmission efficiency was 38%, with the losses primarily due to reflections at the surfaces of the multielement lenses, which were not antireflection coated for the VCSEL wavelength. The overall efficiency for this demonstration is therefore 32%. With the measured optical confinement, an optical system that is optimized for transmission at the VCSEL wavelength will achieve an overall efficiency of greater than 80%. These results suggest that, as high-density VCSELbased smart pixel technology matures, the FAST-Net optical interconnection concept will provide a low-loss, compact, global interconnection approach for high bisection-bandwidth multiprocessor applications in switching, signal processing, and image processing.
FAST-Net optical interconnection prototype demonstration
1998
Optics in Computing '98
The first prototype of the free-space accelerator for switching terabit networks (FAST-Net) program is described. The optical interconnection module consists of an array of matched high-resolution, wide-angle ( f /1.1) imaging lenses that effect a global point-to-point shuffle link pattern across a multichip smart pixel array. A mirror is used to fold the shuffled links back onto the array to facilitate single-plane multichip packaging and simplified opto-mechanical alignment. The test system

... corporates several monolithically integrated two-dimensional arrays of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and photodetectors (PDs) in the multichip plane. In initial experiments the prototype showed good overall optical efficiency and sufficient channel separation for VCSEL/PD arrays with pitches as small as 100 µm. These results suggest that high bisection bandwidth optical free-space interconnection fabrics are feasible for high-throughput switching and multiprocessor applications.
