Abstract
An optical interconnect employing planar volume Bragg hologram technology in two dimensions comprises a dichromated gelatin planar volume Bragg hologram disposed in a glass planar optical path. Multiplexed Bragg plane sets selectively diffract information-bearing light signals such as voice, image, or computer data signals in a VLSI system from a laser diode or LED source coupled to the planar optical path toward high-speed photodiodes. The holographic planar optical interconnect can interconnect up to 1000 different signals between VLSI microelectronic components and systems.
