N1 - Funding Information:
This research was supported by the project of development of high-density optically and partially reconfigurable gate arrays under Japan Science and Technology Agency. This work was also supported in parts by funds from the MEXT via Kitakyushu and Fukuoka innovative cluster projects. The VLSI chip in this study has been fabricated in the chip fabrication program of VLSI Design and Education Center (VDEC), the University of Tokyo with the collaboration by Rohm Corporation and Toppan Printing Corporation.

N2 - We have developed an Optically Differential Reconfigurable Gate Array (ODRGA-VLSI) to realize no-overhead and fast reconfigurable devices. The no-overhead and fast reconfiguration capability of a fabricated VLSI chip has been confirmed experimentally. However, to date, evaluation of nanosecond reconfiguration speed with an entire system combining a VLSI chip, spatial light modulators (SLMs) used as optical memories, and lasers has never been conducted. Therefore, this paper presents an entire ODRGA system including SLMs, pulse lasers, and an ODRGA-VLSI chip. Results show a 220 ns fast reconfiguration and circuit performance on the gate array.
