Ultrashort optical interconnections of peripheral devices for next generation data processing systems

We present a theoretical and experimental analysis on the static and modulation characteristics of components for 10 Gb/s ultrashort optical interconnects. Numerical analysis of geometrical parameters for optical light source and detector shows optimal values where bandwidth is maximal. Intracavity-contacted oxide confined vertical cavity surface emitted lasers and resonant cavity enhanced photodiode are presented as good choice for next generation high-speed optical interconnects.
