Configuration of an optical waveguide interconnect mesh network based on EOPCB

An optical waveguide interconnect mesh network scheme for parallel multiprocessor systems based on an electro-optical printed circuit board (EOPCB) with multimode polymer waveguide is proposed. The system consists of 2×2 processor element chips interconnected in a mesh network configuration. An additional layer with optical waveguide structure is embedded in a conventional printed circuit board to construct the EOPCB.
