Abstract :
The design of a low-cost chip-to-chip optical interconnect is presented. A ray tracing model is used to investigate the sensitivity of the optical coupling efficiency to misalignments of the optical components. Estimation of the power budget predicts operation at 10 Gb/s with a noise margin of 6.3 dB.
