Description
Summary:Optoelectronics continues to make inroads into computer and signal processing systems requiring high speed interconnection networks. While optical fibers predominate as the interconnect for long path lengths, at lower levels within an electronic system optical waveguides may be used as an interconnect media for signal distribution. Signal distribution using waveguides also implies input/output coupling and the need to redistribute an optical signal within the plane of the waveguide. For the latter, diffractive elements may be used for inplane and out-of-plane signal distribution. Diffractive coupling/signal distribution elements are attractive because of their directional properties and potential manufacturability.
