Abstract
The concept of adaptive optics for improving the cost-performance of free-s pace optoelectronic interconnects is discussed. Adaptive optics as a design option for optical interconnect systems is presented and discussed. A prac tical demonstrator that performs low-order correction was built and tested. Slowly varying misalignments, including thermal effects, were compensated for in a 622-Mbit/s free-space optical data link. (C) 2000 Optical Society of America.
