Description
Summary:We describe a 4 by 4 array of embedded control two input, one output optoelectronic switching nodes based on the field effect transistor self electro-optic effect device (FET-SEED) technology. The arrays have electrical fan-out to remove the loss associated with optical fan-out in the system application. Extensive testing was done on several arrays at 156 Mb/s per channel with optical switching energies below 100 fJ, with the output driver limiting the maximum data rate to 400 Mb/s. Power dissipation, noise margin, crosstalk, sensitivity to stray light, and uniformity of both threshold and output waveforms are also discussed
