In fight of this interest, we have developed a simple model which outlines the trade-offs between optical connection density and Smart Pixel intelligence. The objective of the model is to define a reasonable operating region where the following parameters are optimized: the number of transistors per Smart Pixel, the optoelectronic device window size, the lenslet size, the f/number of the lenslet, and the optical connection density.","PeriodicalId":302010,"journal":{"name":"Optical Computing","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124417227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cin has three main components: the photodiode active area, the amplifier input, and the stray interconnect capacitance (Cs). The FET-SEED technology minimizes Cs through the monolithic integration of photodetectors, modulators and electronic circuitry.[3][4]] However, current system demonstrations using FET-SEEDs have been limited to using medium scale integration (MSI) smart pixel arrays. Hybrid integration of VLSI Si CMOS electronic circuitry with photodetectors, modulators, or emitters is an attractive approach in obtaining VLSI smart pixels in the near term.","PeriodicalId":302010,"journal":{"name":"Optical Computing","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124935491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phase conjugation process can improve dynamic stability by reducing the sensitivity to beam path fluctuations and alignment.
