Abstract :
Summary form only given. In conclusion, a monolithically integrated 4×4 reconfigurable optical interconnection network has been demonstrated using arrays of beam-steering vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). This approach eliminates the need of bulk optical components and critical alignment, and can greatly reduce the volume of optical interconnect for massively parallel processors.
