Optically Reconfigurable Gate Arrays (ORGAs) offer the possibility of providing a virtual gate count that is much larger than those of currently available VLSIs by exploiting the large storage capacity of holographic memory. We developed an Optically Differential Reconfigurable Gate Array (ODRGA-VLSI) with no overhead and fast reconfigu-ration capability. This paper presents the results of development of a perfect optical reconfigurable system with the ODRGA-VLSI chip and holographic memory. Experimental results of the reconfiguration procedure and circuit performance on a gate array are also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
