x Fiber to the Board (FTTBoard)

x Fiber to the Chip (FTTChip)

x Fiber in the Chip (FITChip)



Today…

Parallel to the growing diffusion of

FTTH and FITH, optical connections

between individual computers have

become commercially available.

Outlook



2 to 5 years from now…

Optical communication is about to

enter the computer, connecting one

circuit board to another.

14

Outlook



5 to 10 years from now…

Chip-to-chip communication will enter

the market, bringing speed-of-light

communication onto the circuit board.

15

Outlook



15+ years from now…

Experts disagree on whether optical

interconnects will ever connect the

subsystems within a chip.
