Claim 11:
12. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one optical/electrical communication interface module comprises:
a first optical input/output port configured to at least one of (i) receive a plurality of channels of first optical signals from a first plurality of optical fibers, or (ii) transmit a plurality of channels of second optical signals to the first plurality of optical fibers;
a first photonic integrated circuit configured to at least one of (i) generate a plurality of first serial electrical signals based on the first optical signals, or (ii) generate the second optical signals based on a plurality of second serial electrical signals;
a plurality of first serializer/deserializers configured to at least one of (i) generate a plurality of sets of third parallel electrical signals based on the plurality of first serial electrical signals, and condition the electrical signals, wherein each set of third parallel electrical signals is generated based on a corresponding first serial electrical signal, or (ii) generate the plurality of second serial electrical signals based on a plurality of sets of fourth parallel electrical signals, in which each second serial electrical signal is generated based on a corresponding set of fourth parallel electrical signals; and
a plurality of second serializer/deserializers configured to at least one of (i) generate a plurality of fifth serial electrical signals based on the plurality of sets of third parallel electrical signals, in which each fifth serial electrical signal is generated based on a corresponding set of third parallel electrical signals, or (ii) generate the plurality of sets of fourth parallel electrical signals based on a plurality of sixth serial electrical signals, in which each set of fourth parallel electrical signal is generated based on a corresponding sixth serial signal.
