OPTICAL PARALLEL ARITHMETIC UNIT

摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical parallel arithmetic unit for executing a much higher speed analog operation by shortening time to be spent on input/output as possible. SOLUTION: This is configured store photoresponsive substance 14, and partition 12 provided with photonic crystal 12a formed light waveguide path resonator inside through which only specific wavelength selectively transmitted, plurality of adjacent cells installed in mirror 15 reflecting incident excitation rays light, guiding the 11 are bottom part 13. Furthermore, this source 16 emitting cells; filter 17 detector 18, 14 selected cell made emit based from 16, irradiated light. Transmission processing series using electric signal repeated so that high can achieved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
