Design and testing of a smart pixel array for a four-stage optical backplane demonstrator

Design and testing of a smart pixel array for a four-stage optical backplane demonstrator

The initial characterization of a smart pixel array (SPA) for an optical backplane has been carried out. Initial measurements of the functionality and the performance have been done, and higher speed measurements will be carried out on custom printed circuit board (PCBs). This design will then be in...

Description
Summary:The initial characterization of a smart pixel array (SPA) for an optical backplane has been carried out. Initial measurements of the functionality and the performance have been done, and higher speed measurements will be carried out on custom printed circuit board (PCBs). This design will then be incorporated into a four-stage optical backplane demonstrator.
