Abstract

The challenges facing the use of optical interconnects to provide high capacity links is reviewed. The power consumption of optical and electrical links are compared. The performance of fiber ribbon optical data links is described. It is argued that free-space digital optics may be used to provide higher capacity. The required and achieved performance of transceivers and the optics and mechanics used for free-space digital optical systems is described.
