Abstract
The invention provides optical interconnects of data-processing cores of multicore chips by means of digital planar holographic microchips on a host chip. The device comprises 'N' laser light sources that generate lights of 'N' different wavelength and “N” data-processing cores that produce data. Each data-processing core contains optical signal receivers and modulators/transceivers that receive lights from the laser light sources and have a function of modulating the light obtained from the laser light sources with the data produced by the cores thus producing modulated light signals which are further processed by the holographic microchip and then decoded by the receivers. The device is efficient in that it replaces electrical interconnects between the cores with optical interconnects and can be matched to current semiconductor production technology.
