Abstract

We propose a passively assembled chip-to-chip optical interconnection system using fiber-optic technology. To demonstrate the system, three components were prepared: a fiber-embedded optical printed-circuit board (OPCB), optical transmitter/receiver modules, and 90/spl deg/-bent fiber connectors. All components were assembled using precise guide pins and holes so that complete passive alignment was achieved in the OPCB. An optical link of 5-Gb/s/ch signals with a total link loss of -1.5 dB has been successfully demonstrated from the assembled system.
