Abstract
An optical transceiver system including a plurality of transceiver nodes with at least one two-dimensional integrated circuit array of optical emitters and detectors mounted on an ASIC drive circuit and forming a focal plane; a lens or light collimator located adjacent for directing light to and from the emitter and detectors; an epoxy stand off located peripherally around each focal plane to prevent contact between the focal plane and the lens or collimator and to prevent entry of contaminants therebetween; and at least one fiber optic bundle to convey light between each of the transceiver nodes through the perspective lenses or collimators.
