abstract = "Fiber optic VLSI networks which use optical processing of the medium access protocol are investigated. Two protocols are demonstrated in an experimental all-optical network with a passive star architecture: asynchronous code-division multiple access (spread spectrum), at 100 Mbps, and fixed assignment time-division multiple access, at 500 Mbps. An all-optical active star architecture is also implemented with an optically-controlled lithium niobate integrated optic switch. Optical clock distribution to four fiber optic receivers, integrated on three Si VLSI chips, is demonstrated using a coupling technique which reduces the footprint of the fiber-optic interconnect to its theoretical minimum, i. e. , the diameter of a single-mode waveguide.",
