2-D Fiber Bundle Array For An Optoelectronic System Based On OE-VLSI Chip

摘要

Over the past few years, with rapidly growing popularity of the Internet and the world wide web, the performance of microprocessors and capacity of switching model has been growing exponentially and this growth can be expected to continue in the foreseeable future.[1] To meet the demand of increasing performance and capacity for microprocessors and switching model, the silicon integrated circuits (IC's) has became increasingly sophisticated in terms of larger numbers of gates and high clock rates. For advanced processor chips, aggregate input and output I/O data rates will need to be higher than 1 Tbit/s and number of I/O ports will be more than 4000 within the next 5 years. Consequently it can be anticipated that the communication bandwidth and I/O ports for a single chip will become a serious communication bottleneck.
