N1 - Funding Information:
The authors are indebted to Dr. Brian Aull of MIT Linclon Laboratory for providing the MQW modulator test sample. Edward Harstead, currently with AT&T, was instrumental in the design and development of the integrated fiber-optic tap. Technical assistance was also provided by Nan Moore on the integrated fiberoptic modulator, Lian-Kuan Chen on the uAN demonstration, and Robert Ade and Victor Treyz on the fabrication of the photodetectors and wells, respectively. The support of the Department of the Army, US Army Electronics Technology and Devices Lab, at Fort Monmouth, NJ, is gratefully acknowledged, as is the support of the DARPA Optical Interconnect Program, NOSC contract no. N66001-85-21402, and the NSF Center for Telecommunications Research contract no. CDR-84-21402.

N2 - The concept of an optical "micro-area network" is introduced as a means of providing reconfigurable optical interconnection between VLSI chips. Key integrated fiber-optic components of the optical micro-area network, including a modulator, tap, and photodetector, are proposed and demonstrated. Using these components, the experimental demonstration of a synchronous optical micro-area network, with a time-division multiple-access communication protocol, is reported.
