OPTICAL INTERCONNECT DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

To provide a high-density optical interconnect device, information processing device and data transmission method which are able to suppress limitations caused by the widening of light beams and the size of lenses. An optical interconnect unit includes a plurality of first lenses and a plurality of second lenses corresponding to a plurality of light-emitting element groups, and a plurality of light beams emitted from the plurality of light-emitting element groups pass through plurality of first lenses and the plurality of second lenses. The optical interconnect unit also includes a plurality of third lenses and a plurality of fourth lenses, and light beam groups pass through any one of the plurality of third lenses and the plurality of fourth lenses, and are focused by any one of a plurality of light-receiving element groups that include a plurality of light-receiving elements.

1. An optical interconnect device comprising:
a plurality of light-emitting element groups each having a plurality of light-emitting elements; a plurality of light-receiving element groups each having a plurality of light-receiving elements; and a plurality of focusing mechanisms each having a plurality of focusing members, the focusing mechanisms being provided in parallel to each light-emitting element group included in the plurality of light-emitting element groups to integrate light beams from the plurality of light-emitting elements in the light-emitting element group and to focus the light beams on any light-receiving element group included in the plurality of light-receiving element groups; and a light beam from at least one light-emitting element among the plurality of light-emitting elements included in at least one of the plurality of light-emitting element groups being focused on two or more light-receiving elements included in a corresponding light-receiving element group.
