| Abstract | Optical interconnect arrays, developed with the help of wave-guides and semiconductor interconnections, form a primary aspect of any optoelectronic network. These form the basis for a wide variety of operations that could be performed on a series of optical signals, paving the way for a whole new dimension in mixed-signal computations. Conceivably , arithmetic and simple logic operations [1] (such as sorting, ranking and comparing) may be accomplished using these arrays. This project is an attempt to design and implement a smart-pixel system capable of comparing two analog signals after compensating for the interconnect losses incurred by each signal. Such a pixel has useful applications in analog ranking and sorting systems mentioned above. These systems provide for parallel comparison and ranking, unlike conventional digital sorting/ranking algorithmic implementations, which are usually more than linearly dependent on the number of inputs. |
