Abstract
A distributed data processing system includes a first data processing system and a second data processing system. The first data processing system includes a first housing, a first data processor, and a first optical module that is configured to convert output electrical signals from the first data processor to output optical signals that are provided to a first optical fiber cable. The second data processing system includes a second housing, a second data processor, and a second optical module that is configured to convert output electrical signals from the second data processor to output optical signals that are provided to a second optical fiber cable. An optical power supply includes at least one laser that is configured to provide a first light source to the first optical module through a first optical link and to provide a second light source to the second optical module through a second optical link.
