Novel packaging of parallel-optical interconnects for high-end servers

A novel packaging concept is demonstrated where parallel-optical subassemblies are mounted on the same substrate as processor chips for processor-to-processor communication within a high-end server. A single-channel bit-error ratio <1.5/spl times/10/sup -15/ was measured at 8 Gbit/s.
