Abstract(in English) We have been developing Optically Reconfigurable Gate Arrays (ORGAs) which can be reconfigured optically. The ORGAs consist of a laser array, a hologram memory, a programmable gate array VLSI. ORGAs can realize a large virtual gate count that is much larger than those of current VLSI chips by exploiting the large storage capacity of a holographic memory. Also, ORGAs can realize fast reconfiguration through use of large bandwidth optical connections between a holographic memory and a programmable gate array VLSI. Among such developments, we have proposed a dynamic optically reconfigurable gate array using a photodiode memory architecture to realize huge gate count VLSI, an optically differential reconfigurable gate array using a differential reconfiguration strategy to achieve a fast reconfiguration capability, and an inversion/noninversion optically reconfigurable architecture that combines both architectures to realize both advantages of rapid configuration and high gate count. This paper shows the estimation results of the three architectures under a same condition and fast configuration experimental results of the inversion/noninversion optically reconfigurable architecture.
