Abstract

In this paper we show how opto-electronic VLSI smart pixels (OE-VLSI) and free space interconnections can be used to implement a parallel access optical memory device that combines high access concurrency with high density and speed. To this end we present a design of an opto-electronic VLSI (OE-VLSI) memory chip that allows wordwise swapping of data between a small capacity smart pixel memory and a larger capacity electronic memory. A prototype of such a device has been implemented through the Bell-Labs OE-VLSI Foundry.
