N2 - Massively parallel optical interconnects may ease the bandwidth bottleneck that may occur in future spacecraft applications. There are stringent performance requirements that must be imposed on an optical interconnect operating in space such as high reliability, high data transmission rate, and extended temperature operation, and perhaps sufficient radiation hardening. The integration of 2-dimensional (2D) vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) transmitters with metal semiconductor metal field effect transistor (MESFET) receivers all fabricated from 111-V compound semiconductors is promising for development of high aggregate bandwidth optical interconnects. We discuss the performance of a prototype 2D optical interconnect which uses a fiber image guide for 80 Mbitlsec operation in a single channel.'
