Apparatus and method for transmitting data between VLSI chips |
摘要 |
A transmitter for transmitting data in the form of an optical signal. The transmitter having: a transmitter chip module having a material capable of radiating light of a first wavelength when both a zero voltage potential exists across the material and when illuminated by light of a second wavelength; a light source optically coupled to the transmitter chip module for illuminating the material with light of the second wavelength; and a voltage controller for controlling the voltage potential across the first material. Also provided is a receiver for receiving data in the form of an optical signal having a first wavelength. The receiver having: a receiver chip module having a material capable of producing a signal in the form of a produced voltage potential or produced current when illuminated by light of both the first wavelength and light of a second wavelength; a light source optically coupled to the receiver chip module for illuminating the material with light of the second wavelength; and a signal detector for detecting presence of the produced signal.
