Abstract

Attention has turned in recent years to optical interconnection as the most cost-effective solution to the problem of I/O bottlenecks in the wiring of conventional FR4 printed wiring boards. In this paper we propose a new configuration for the key element in realizing optical interconnections, a low-cost electrical/optical (E/O) converter module. We furthermore propose an easy splicer and a ribbonized coated-mountable fiber for multicore optical interconnections.
