An optically clocked transistor array for dual serial-to- parallel and parallel-to-serial conversion of optical packets

We propose an optically clocked transistor array which performs both serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial conversion (time demux/mux) of incoming/outgoing packets, enabling a low cost, low power, compact optical label processor for asynchronous burst optical packets.
