Optoelectronic interconnections between boards at 1-100 cm distances are proposed, which are based on a typically some 5- 10 mm thick light-guiding plate for confinement and transport of the optical signals with low loss, on the order of 0.1 dB/cm. The plate is equipped with grating couplers fabricated as volume phase holograms in dichromated gelatin with insertion loss as low as 0.5 dB/coupler. The apertures of the optoelectronic transmitters are imaged onto the apertures of the receivers by aspheric field lenses or mirrors mounted on the plate. Such optical systems render packing densities as high as 1000 channel/cm possible that are required for the application of densely packed integrated arrays of semiconductor lasers and detectors. Grating dispersion, axial astigmatism, geometrical distortion and coma are eliminated in the proposed optical setup. Results from ray tracing and an experiment are presented. © 1993.
