Abstract
Network requirements for interprocessor applications are described, and it is shown that telephone technology is not cost-effective for data processing networks. The elements of a cost/performance-optimized, optical-interconnect technology for interprocessor networks are examined. Optoelectronic transducers, monolithic integration of functions, and high-density packaging are discussed. Future directions in optical link technology are examined.Keywords
