Abstract: An interconnect system for coupling light from a laser light source to an optical fiber having a fiber aperture, the interconnect system including a 2-dimensional array of laser light sources, a 2-dimensional array of micro lenses disposed between 10-200 ?m distance from the laser light source, between the laser light source and the optical fiber and in registration therewith, each micro lens comprising a micro lens back surface, a micro lens body, a micro lens front surface, and a clear aperture, the micro lens front surface and back surface being shaped to provide a laser beam in the micro lens body of smaller diameter than the clear aperture for focusing the beam onto the fiber aperture.

Abstract: A lookup table including stored data, the lookup table including a Random Access Memory (RAM) for storing the data, wherein the RAM includes a plurality of windows; and a Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) for storing indices, each index pointing to the windows, and a method for performing a Longest Prefix Match (LPM) including organizing data in such a lookup table, searching according to a lookup key in the TCAM, receiving a match signal from the TCAM including an index pointing to one of the windows, and searching according to the lookup key in the pointed to window.
