ABSTRACT:
A packaged smart pixel array for a reconfigurable intelligent optical interconnect is described. The smart pixel array (298) comprises an optical-to-electronic optical I/O channel 68 input means, an electronic-to-optical optical I/O channel 68 output means, an electrical channel input means (134), an electrical channel output means (114), a data switching means (110) for switching data from optical channel input means to electrical channel output means, a data switching means (130) for switching data from electrical channel input means and optical channel input means to optical channel output means and a packaging means (300) which packages all these means onto a single package with identifiable input and output port means. The smart pixel array makes possible the realization of a reconfigurable optical interconnect which implements multiple reconfigurable optical communication channels.
