Experimental realization of a CMOS-compatible optical directed priority encoder using cascaded micro-ring resonators
In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an integrated optical device that can implement the logical function of priority encoding from a 4-bit electrical signal to a 2-bit optical signal. For the proof of concept, the thermo-optic modulation scheme is adopted to tune each micro-ring...

The encoding results are directed to the output ports in the form of light. At last, the logical function of priority encoding with an operation speed of 10 Kbps is demonstrated successfully. |
