Abstract

We report the results of measurements on two novel optical interconnection systems, both of which employ Bessel beams generated by laser diodes and holographic optical elements (HOEs). One system delivers a signal to many circuit boards simultaneously, while the other links different chips lying on the same board. A new HOE was fabricated for use in these two interconnection schemes which produces a beam with a central spot diameter of 100 μm and a propagation range of 17 cm. The HOEs are binary phase elements which have been fabricated as transmission elements in fused silica
