....in the previous section, the system consists of a GCU, an IU, and two dimensional optical source 16 (fact) and detector planes for I O interfacing with the host. A two dimensional optical source such as an electrically addressed spatial light modulator (E SLM) can be used for the fact planes[25]. For the E SLM, a Ferro electric Liquid Crystal (FLC) SLM, Electricallyaddressed Microchannel SLM (E MSLM) or Silicon PLZT SLM can be used. Since EORBS must send results to an electronic host, an optical detector array is needed to convert optical signals into electronic signals. EORBS also ....

....which are microlasers very suitable for the high density source array. A modulator coupled with an external light source could also be the source. The modulator can be electro optic, absorptive, reflective, or even a spatial light modulator such as self electro optic effect device (SEED)[9]. The detector is generally a photodiode or a photoconductor connected to a bias and preamplifier circuitry. Since a node might have at least one source, one detector, and some processing capability, the node could be realized by a smart pixel, which is a hybrid opto electronic digital processing ....

....realized if we can implement them with a more inherently parallel technology, such as optics, that is also capable of providing the parallel readout of results. The advantages of optics for providing efficient support for future parallel processing systems have been cited on numerous occasions [7, 8, 9]. These advantages include large bandwidth, innate parallelism, and noninterfering propagation along with the capacity for three dimensional interconnects. The ease with which optical signals can be expanded (which allows for signal broadcasting) and combined (which allows for signal funneling) ....
