Physical layout algorithms for computer generated holograms in optoelectronic MCM systems design

Abstract

The fundamental computer generated hologram (CGH) fabrication and design limitations that greatly influence optoelectronic multichip module (OE-MCM) design are discussed. Physical models of free-space optical interconnects for OE-MCM are identified. Logical and mathematical models for analysis are then derived from these models. These cases are analyzed and an iterative algorithm to solve the layout problem is presented. The results of applying the algorithm to the OE-MCM design of a twin butterfly interconnection network are discussed.<>
