We present an optoelectronic module called the equivalency-processing parallel photonic integrated circuit (EP(3)IC) that is created specifically to implement high-speed parallel equivalence searches (i.e., database word searches). The module combines a parallel-computation model with multiwavelength photonic integrated-circuit technology to achieve high-speed data processing. On the basis of simulation and initial analytical computation, a single-step multicomparand word-parallel bit-parallel equality search can attain an aggregate processing speed of 82 Tbit/s. We outline the theoretical design of the monolithic module and the integrated components and compare this with a functionally identical bulk-optics implementation. This integrated-circuit solution provides relatively low-power operation, fast switching speed, a compact system footprint, vibration tolerance, and ease of manufacturing.

“…We have physically demonstrated the multiwavelength equality operation. 10 In an attempt to shrink the processor dimensions and enhance dramatically system performance, we developed an integrated-optics version of the MW-OCAPP. We call this new system the equivalencyprocessing parallel photonic integrated circuit ͑EP 3 IC͒.…”
