Abstract

We propose a new optical ternary content-Addressable memory design for ultra-high-speed packet routing and security analysis that leverages wavelength-division mul-Tiplexing using silicon photonics microring modulators. The analysis shows that the energy consumption of the proposed optical Search Engine is as low as 134.2 fJ/bit.
