A New Symbolic Substitution Based Addition Algorithm

Symbolic substitution, a parallel processing technique, has been proposed in computing literature to perform fast, carry-free addition of numbers. Several algorithms and corresponding symbolic substitution tables have been developed for addition of two numbers represented in binary, modified signed digit (MSD), and canonical modified signed digit (CMSD) number systems. In this paper, however, w...

Optical snake-based segmentation processor using a shadow casting incoherent correlator

Analytical Study of Optical Bi-Stability of a Single-Bus Resonator Based on InGaAs Micro-Ring Array

In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...

Optical snake-based segmentation processor with a shadow-casting incoherent correlator.

What is believed to be the first incoherent snake-based optoelectronic processor that is able to segment an object in a real image is described. The process, based on active contours (snakes), consists of correlating adaptive binary references with the scene image. The proposed optical implementation of algorithms that are already operational numerically opens attractive possibilities for faste...
