This paper documents an investigation on the architectures and algorithms for performing logic (or Boolean equations) using self electro-optic effect devices (SEEDs). Three algorithms and architectures for performing logic are examined -- using lookup tables with series connected SEEDs (or Symmetric-SEEDs), using a preset cycle with series connected SEEDs, and using NMOS and CMOS architectures. Contrasts are examined between the architectures with cascadeability, component, and optical interconnectivity considerations.
MIL-S-901 High Impact Shock tests were performed on commercial-grade and ruggedized fiber optic connectors, splices, and switches. Both singlemode and multimode connectors and splices were tested. Only multimode switches were tested. Transient losses of varying magnitudes and durations were observed. Most components suffered no permanent degradation.
