Optical connectivity for interconnect technologies

Abstract

To provide a method for optical connectivity for interconnect technologies.SOLUTION: The method includes: determining an optical interconnect supports a defined optical mode; decoding electrical signals from an electrical interconnect, the electrical signals representing the number of bits from one or more messages; converting the electrical signals to optical signals for the optical interconnect; and mapping the decoded bits to one or more optical channels of the optical interconnect.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
