Abstract

Conditions are determined for which free space optical interconnects can transmit information at a higher data rate and consume less power than the equivalent electrical interconnections. Effects of circuit dimension scaling and improved optical link efficiency are discussed. The packing densities of optical and electrical interconnects are also compared.
