Abstract

See full text

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to optical interconnects. In one embodiment of the present invention, an optical interconnect comprises a laser configured to output an optical signal and a laser-diode driver electronically coupled to the laser. The laser-diode driver induces the laser to output the optical signal in response to an electrical signal received by the laser-diode driver. The optical interconnect includes a diffractive optical element and a plurality of photodetectors. The optical interconnect is positioned to receive the optical signal and configured to split the optical signal into a plurality of optical signals, and each photodetector converts one of the plurality of optical signals into an electrical signal that is output on a separate signal line.
