Abstract

Implementations of massively parallel computer systems suffer from the well known communications bottleneck existing between different boards as well as racks. Optics may be an alternative by providing parallel interconnects with high bandwidth and density. We investigate an optical link using two bidimensional multiple-quantum-wells (M.Q.W) opto-electronic arrays, used reversibly as spatial light modulators and receptors. In a first step, we implement a 4×4 channels demonstrator at 30 MHz rate.
