Theoretical estimates suggest that the physical limit on electrical data communication rates between silicon chips is of the order of a few Tbit/s for connection lengths of over ~ 100 mm [1]. The semiconductor industry predicts that this level of input-output is likely to be required in the next ten years [2]. Free-space optical connections to silicon VLSI potentially offer much higher data-rates than electrical interconnects and are promising for future high-performance electronic systems.
