Summary:Several applications of VCSEL-based SPA systems are being
developed at the Optoelectronic Computing Systems Center (OCSC). These
include a crosspoint switch, an FFT processor and an ATM switch. All of
these applications are based on 8×8 VCSEL and detector arrays
forming a bi-directional free space optical interconnect between two
planes of processors. Two identical optoelectronic modules are placed at
the front and back focal planes of a Fourier transform lens. Each module
has 64 smart pixels with optical input (detectors) and output (VCSELs),
electrical connections to nearest neighbors and a processing element
