Abstract
A WDM system is used to transfer bytes of data between keyboard, display and camera portions of a hand held device. The data signals are converted into light wavelengths via lasers or LEDs of differing wavelengths and transported over an optical fiber cable. Mems devices help direct the wavelengths to the optical cable and mems devices may be used at the receiving end. The receiver illustratively has a photodiode array to receive the different wavelengths and produce electronic signals. Optical filters and micro-ring resonators may be employed.
