9783540567868: Perspectives for Parallel Optical Interconnects: 1 (ESPRIT Basic Research Series)

Sinopsis

This volume is the result of the ESPRIT Basic Research Working Group 3199, WOIT (Workshop on Optical Information Technology), that contains the research work of European universities active in the field of optical computing. The volume discusses the applicability of parallel optical interconnects to computer architectures. It particularly emphasizes systems that use free space optics as an intermediate medium between optoelectronic arrays. The first section is a review of passive and active components suitable for 3D integration. It includes reflective and refractive components, such as miniature lenses and natural and synthetic holograms, as well as optoelectronic semiconductor devices, spatial light modulators, photorefractive materials, and acousto-optical devices. Each component is accurately described with regard to its limitations and perspectives. The second section covers interconnection schemes and systems using these components. Dedicated architectures, such as correlators and optical cellular automata, and general purpose systems, such as interconnect networks and intracomputer interconnecting frameworks, are presented. Spatial density, bandwidth, and energy balance are also considered, to allow for the assessment of the relevance of different architectures investigated in the book.

Reseña del editor

This volume is a monograph on parallel optical interconnects. It presents not only the state­ of-the-art in this domain but also the necessary physical and chemical background. It also provides a discussion of the potential for future devices. Both experts and newcomers to the area will appreciate the authors' proficiency in providing the complete picture of this rapidly growing field. Optical interconnects are already established in telecommunications and should eventually find their way being applied to chip and even gate level connections in integrated systems. The inspiring environment of the Basic Research Working Group on Optical Information Technology WOIT (3199), together with the excellent and complementary skills of its participants, make this contribution highly worthwhile.
