Abstract

We describe the parallel optical test of a photonic first-in-first-out (PFIFO) buffer memory based on flip-chip CMOS/SEED optoelectronic technology. The PFIFO detects pages of 4 by 8 binary bits, stores them in a 32 bit deep buffer memory, and transmits them in a 16 by 2 output modulator array. All 32 I/O and memory channels functioned, with an average input power of 40 microwatts and a minimum output contrast ratio of 2:1.
