ABSTRACT:
An optical interface includes at least two transmitters and receivers capable of transmitting and receiving, respectively, high bandwidth optical signals. A first transmitter/receiver assembly which includes at least one such transmitter and one such receiver is mounted inside a computer having a shell which maintains a hermetic seal. The transmitter and receiver of the first transmitter/receiver assembly face a transparent portion of the computer shell. A second transmitter/receiver assembly also includes at least one transmitter and receiver which are mounted outside the computer shell facing the transparent portion of the shell, with each transmitter and receiver of the second transmitter/receiver assembly opposite a corresponding receiver or transmitter of the first transmitter/receiver assembly. High bandwidth optical signals of up to 1 Gb/s are transmitted to and from the computer across the transparent portion of the shell while the hermetic seal is maintained.
