In this paper the authors describe principles of waveguide holography application to optical interconnect problem. An optical interconnection employing waveguide and total internal reflection holograms as a basic element is discussed. Methods of waveguide holography (WGH) permits to match technology of VLSI systems with the optical interconnection conception. It is shown that WGH have an extremely high efficiency, it forms high resolution and wide view image and permits to increase signal to noise ratio. Waveguide holography has a good potential for optical interconnects because of its capability to overcome many bottlenecks of traditional holography. The experience in waveguide holography shows that in optical interconnects problem WGH will be applied in different manners. In particular, WGH of two-dimensional images (in variant of waveguide mode reconstruction) will be optimal in receiving devises in schemes one-to-all, integrated illuminators matrix-vector mutlipliers (crossbar networks) and in wavelength demultipliers. These schemes will have extremely high performance efficiency (95 %). Volume wave reconstruction of WGH (serial line-by-line) can be applied in wavelength multipliers, schemes of spatial reconfigurable interconnects. Waveguide Bragg WGH has very high angular selectivity and will be useful for modulation and branching out spatial information. Total internal reflection holograms can be regarded as a variant of WGH where multimode waveguide is used, so the most of WGH application can be transformed for TIRH application.
