Abstract
We propose and analyze a novel interconnection configuration in which one 2-dimensional plane can communicate simultaneously and reconfigurably with many planes by using WDM. This system incorporates arrays of multiple-wavelength VCSEL’s as well as wavelength-selective detecting planes. High signal contrast ratio with low power penalty can be achieved for a Δλ>30nm, limited only by the detector spectral response. In addition, system capacity is significantly enhanced over more traditional techniques by using WDM pixels.
