摘要
Ferroelectric liquid crystal over silicon smart pixels offers potential advantages over conventional electronic and waveguide approaches to telecommunications switching, The role of such smart-pixel architectures in space/wavelength optical interconnect and in high-performance ATM switches based on interconnection of optically accessed memory is discussed.
