Design and construction of an optoelectronic crossbar switchcontaining a terabit per second free-space optical interconnect

摘要

The completed detailed design and initial phases of constructionnof an optoelectronic crossbar demonstrator are presented. Thenexperimental system uses hybrid very large scale integratednoptoelectronics technology whereby InGaAs-based detectors and modulatorsnare flip-chip bonded onto silicon integrated circuits. The system aimsnto demonstrate a 1-Tb/s aggregate data input/output to a single chip bynmeans of free-space optics
