摘要
The architecture, smart pixel array chip design, and optical design of an intelligent free-space digital optical backplane for ATM switching are presented. The smart pixel chip uses reflective SEED (self-electrooptic effect device) optical modulators and detectors flip-chip bonded to CMOS circuitry, This chip is one of the most complex designs ever reported in this technology, and it operates at a simulated backplane clock rate of 125 MHz. The low-loss optical system employs f/4 diffractive minilenses and microlenses to interconnect clusters of smart pixels, and it is shown to allow 2060 connections per chip if 1-cm(2)-sized smart pixel chips are used. This gives a predicted bisection bandwidth of around 1 Tb/s across a 10-in circuit board edge for a full-sized system.
