Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of enabling simultaneous cooling and information exchange capabilities for board-to-board communications. We show that heat pipes, conventionally used for cooling of electronic equipment, can be efficiently applied for information transmission purposes at extremely high data rates. The latter is accomplished by using wireless communications in terahertz frequency band, 0.1--10THz, and selecting a proper refrigerant with no absorption lines in this band. We report on both cooling and transmission performance of the system, illustrating that, due to the absence of molecular absorption and noise and also due to special configuration of the waveguide, channel capacity can reach the value of hundreds of Gbps. The achieved capacity potentially enables wireless communications between rate-hungry electronics inside computers such as central processing unit and graphical processing unit, while simultaneously providing cooling functionality.
