Morphological transformations based on optical symbolic substitution and polarization-encoded optical shadow-casting systems

Parallel implementation of optical symbolic substitution logic using shadow-casting and polarization.

We propose a parallel implementation method for optical symbolic substitution logic. The method uses shadow-casting principles for the efficient implementation of fundamental operations required in symbolic substitution logic; namely, image replication, spatial shifting, and combination. The use of light polarization allows for the implementation in parallel of several substitution rules withou...

Throughput enhancement for optical symbolic substitution computing systems.

It is shown that by taking advantage of the superposition property of optical signals, one can further improve the performance of optical symbolic substitution processors.

Photonic Crystal-Based Polarization Converter for Optical Communication Applications

A photonic crystal-based TE to TM polarization converter for integrated optical communication is proposed in this paper. The photonic crystal consists of air circular-holes in slab waveguide. The radius of holes are determined to be 291nm having lattice constant of 640nm using the gap map and band diagram. The polarization converter is composed of an InGaAsP triangular-shaped waveguide on SiO2 ...
