Abstract :
Although the progress of short wavelength VCSEL-based parallel optical links has been published by several groups, the use of highly reliable long wavelength LEDs has recently been investigated as a viable option for applications requiring 622 Mb/s or less. This paper presents an LED based parallel optical data link using a unique method for optical modeling to improve coupling efficiency between light sources and planar waveguides
