Optical interconnects are an attractive replacement for electrical interconnections in high performance systems. They can provide high speed, high bandwidth, low loss, massively parallel, crosstalk resistant interconnections for use in clock distribution and three-dimensional computer technologies by utilizing signal guiding layers. They have also been demonstrated in optoelectronic multi-chip modules (OEMCMs) using free space waveguiding and for use in three dimensional (3D) systems using vertical optical through-silicon links. Herein we present the first fully digital, vertical optical, fully integrated (no external sources) through-silicon interconnection with speeds up to 50 Mbps.
