Analysis and Design of Three Dimensional Free Space Optoelectronic Switching Network

Many research papers on optical interconnects have been published over the last three decades, however, some models are oversimplified and overlooked important design considerations. These include the timing synchronization of the VCSEL sources; detailed calculations of the free space optoelectronic interconnect network, theoretical analysis of computer generated hologram on optical interconnect system. An example of detailed analysis are presenting here for devising optoelectronic interconnect switching network based on a banyan switch. In order to expand the work into a large optoelectronic switching arrays, more careful considerations may be necessary from system perspective..
