Abstract :
In summary, an optical memory smart pixel array had been designed and fabricated. The functions and performance of this device had been tested and confirmed. We demonstrated a smart pixel capable of storing 4 pages of 32-bit memory with parallel operation of the smart pixel array at clock rates up to 277 MHz.
