“…A recent solution to this bottleneck is the multifiber optic interconnection which is short-range (about 10 km or shorter) digital transmission using light. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Multifiber optic interconnects are attractive for high-throughput computer systems and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switching systems. Future applications include optical computers and visual displays.…”

Multifiber optic interconnects are attractive for high-throughput computer systems and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switching systems. We have developed a high-performance 10-fiber interconnect with each fiber operating at a high speed of 1 Gb/s. The modules have a receptacle for mechanically transferred push-on (MTP) multifiber push-pull connector. The hermetic package is surface mount type and solder reflowable. The transmitter (Tx) is DC-coupled and the receiver (Rx) is AC-coupled with a cutoffof7 kHz. The electrical interface is differential current mode logic (CML) or emitter coupled logic (ECL), and the optical interface is a 12-fiber connector. Single-mode glass fibers (9.5 tm) or multimode glass graded-index fibers (62.5 m) were used.Tx contains a laser-driver IC, while Rx contains pre-amplifler and postamplifler, and comparator circuits. All the ICs are -5.2 Vbipolar GaAs, and Tx + Rx consumes 4 W. The power in a fiber is about 100 jW. The back-to-back skew is less than 80 ps. For a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) 223l pseudo-random bit stream, the error rate was less than 1012with all the channels transmitting different signals simultaneously and a 100-m small-skew (1.2 ps/m) fiber ribbon. The link worked up to an atmosphere temperature of 80 °C.

“…Bare glass would suffer from unacceptable abrasion if handled in such a fashion. Another application of GGP fiber in a novel interconnect has been demonstrated in 3M's participation in the OMNET/ChEETah 18 and Jitney programs 19 where high performance optical interconnects have been developed. A key advantage of GGP fiber is its compatibility with the INCA process 2021 (inline cable assembly) which assembles the GGP fiber in "ball and socket" interconnects 22 .…”

Though seldom seen in the optical path of a fiber-optic communications system, polymers have always played an important role in protecting, aligning and joining optical fibers and components. In this paper we describe these uses of polymers and explore possible future applications where polymers will play more central functions. We foresee the use of polymers as encapsulants and adhesives, high-performance and low cost packaging materials, and waveguides for data communications systems.
