The importance of optical interconnection network to the development of supercomputer and intelligent computer is discussed. It is pointed out that optical interconnection network is the key to solve the bottleneck of communication in electronic computers. The physical basis for replacing electrical interconnects with optical interconnects is discussed, emphasizing the efficient, fast, and high-capacity nature of optical interconnection networks. Finally, we analyze several key parameters and preliminary experimental results of the optical crossbar interconnection network that we are studying.
