Abstract
An optical interconnection system and method are provided. The system includes two or more basic components that are stacked and interconnected. The basic component includes an optical network layer and an electrical layer, where in each basic component, the optical network layer is electrically interconnected with the electrical layer, and the optical network layer of each basic component is optically interconnected with an optical network layer of an adjacent basic component, and through optical interconnection in three-dimensional space, a limitation on a quantity of stacked electrical layers is reduced, and efficiency of signal transmission is increased.
