Cascadable digital optical logic circuit elements in the visible and infrared: demonstration of some first all-optical circuits.

摘要: The results of investigations into the feasibility incorporating optically bistable elements an optical processor are presented. Two forms device, etalons InSb and interference filters containing ZnSe, have been used in first experimental demonstrations digital all-optical circuits. It is shown that cw bias beams may be to hold logic gates sufficiently close their switch point available signal gain allows one realize indefinitely extensible logic. such experiments presented implications they on field computing discussed. concluded parallel arrays can give significantly high rates operations.
