Optoelectronic Technology Consortium

Abstract

The Optoelectronic Technology Consortium has been established to position U.S. industry as the world leader in optical interconnect technology by developing, fabricating, integrating and demonstrating the producibility of optoelectronic components for high-density/high-data-rate processors and accelerating the insertion of this technology into military and commercial applications. This objective will be accomplished by a program focused in three areas. OETC will demonstrate an aggregate data transfer rate of 16 Gb/s between single transmitter and receiver packages, as well as the expandability of this technology by combining four links in parallel to achieve a 64 Gb/s link. By collaborating during the precompetitive technology development stage, OETC will advance the development of optical components and produce links for a multiboard processor testbed demonstration. Under the OETC program Honeywell will develop packaged AlGaAs arrays of waveguide modulators and polymer based, high density, parallel optical backplane technology compatible with low-cost manufacturability.
