High Density and Low Power Beam Steering Opto-ULSI Processor for IIPS

This paper presents an optimum phase design implementing a 256 phase beam steering (BS) Opto-ULSI processor (OUP) for multi-function capable optical networks. The world smallest 9um × 9um optical mirror cell to develop an initial 8 phase Opto-ULSI processor that implements a 256-phase BS OUP for integrated intelligent photonic system (IIPS) is to proposed as a target of high density (12mm × 12mm for 1024 × 1024 array) and low power (100mW @1.8v and 50MHz), introducing a novel concept of gray coded switching activity and NAND-NOR combined decoder
