Demand is increasing daily for a robust VLSI chip that is useful in a radiation-rich environment. Optically reconfigurable gate arrays (ORGAs) have been developed to realize a radiation-tolerant Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The ORGA architecture is extremely robust against multi-event upset...
