Abstract

An optical fibre parallel interface has been developed for card-cage to card-cage and board-to-board interconnections, representing a practical and promising optical interconnection. For a system design of a 12 channel, 150 Mbits−1 ch−1 optical parallel interface over a distance of 100 m, it is shown that the choice of a long wavelength LED/PD array with graded index optical fibre array meets the requirements for both power budget and skew limitation over this transmission distance. A 7 mm thick compact package transmitter and receiver module was developed, employing a Zn-doped, mesa structure, 1.3μm LED array and an isolated InGaAs PD array. An optical parallel transmission experiment over 100 m was successfully demonstrated using these modules.
