Abstract
Parallel optoelectronic multiplexers benefit from the large number of I/O channels available in free-space optics. The comparative advantage of parallel over serial I/O is less power dissipation per unit area and less self-inductance noise, which lead to higher performance and higher reliability, respectively. The penalty is increased communication latency, but for a given message size, the latency can be hidden with the proper choice of multiplexer architecture and optoelectronic technology
