Applications of optical computing to problems with symbolic computations. Quarterly report No. 7, 1 August 1986-1 November 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5221892

This report experimentally demonstrates digital all-optical Compare and Energy circuits based on original designs. The circuits uses ZnS bistable optical devices in novel operational modes such as bidirectional and latching logic. These modes are central to the low complexity of the implementation. In addition, the experimental demonstration utilizes polarization multiplexing and filtering to reduce crosstalk, losses, and feedback in the optical system. The capabilities of optical-interconnection networks are generally useful in parallel processing and specifically useful in sorting.
