ELECTRONIC SYSTEM HAVING FREE SPACE OPTICAL ELEMENTS

摘要

An electronic system (100) includes a first circuit board (114a) having a first optical element (118a) and a second circuit board (114b) having a second optical element (118b) positioned to electronically communicate with the first optical element (118a) over free space. The system (100) also includes a cold plate (140) having openings (142) positioned to enable the optical communications over free space is positioned between the first circuit board (114a) and the second circuit board (114b). The system (100) further includes a condenser (150) and a fluid conduit (160) containing a cooling fluid (162) configured to absorb heat through the cold plate (140) and to convey the heat to the condenser (150), where the fluid conduit (160) connects the cold plate (140) and the condenser (150).
