OPTICAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE

摘要

An optical integrated circuit device is provided with a plurality of cores and a plurality of optical transmitters. Each of the cores transmits an electric signal showing information to be transmitted to another core out of the cores to a corresponding optical transmitter out of the optical transmitters. The corresponding optical transmitter transmits an optical signal showing the information to an optical signal line network on the basis of the electric signal. On the basis of the optical signal, the optical signal line network transmits the information to another core described above. In the case, the number of the cores is larger than that of optical wirings which connect the optical transmitters to the optical signal line network.
