Integrated micro-optical imaging system with a high interconnection capacity fabricated in planar optics.

An integrated free-space optical interconnection system with 2500 parallel data channels is demonstrated. The design is based on a combination of microchannel imaging and conventional imaging. A modification of the hybrid imaging configuration allows one to achieve optimized image quality over large image fields.
