Abstract :
A smart CMOS optoelectronic database filter for relational database applications is presented. This photonic VLSI chip monolithically integrates a smart-pixel array that incorporates page-oriented optical reading, data manipulation logic, data buffering and filter control circuitry for interfacing the filter chip with an electronic host computer
