The optical components of a 64× 64 optoelectronic crossbar interconnect are described. The specifications and performance of the bulk, micro-optic, diffractive and thin-film components are discussed.

This paper presents an optical interconnect model for k-ary n-cube network topologies based on free-space analysis. This model integrates relevant parameters inherent to optics with traditional network parameters to make it applicable for performance evaluation of parallel processor optical network designs. We apply this model to a free-space diffractive-reflective optical interconnect and comp...

The role played by colorless gluon-clusters in the optical-geometrical approach to high-energy inelastic diffractive scattering is discussed. A simple analytical expression for the t-dependence of the integrated single diffractive cross section (t is the four-momentum transfer squared) is derived. Comparison with the existing data and predictions for future experiments are presented. ∗e-mail ad...

This article reviews clinical and optical data for three unique lens designs: the ReSTOR diffractive intraocular lens (IOL), the Vision Membrane, and the ReZOOM refractive multifocal IOL.

The refractive and the diffractive properties of planar micro-optical elements are investigated. The transition between purely refractive and purely diffractive planar microlenses is numerically simulated for the example of differently designed phase-matched Fresnel elements. Results obtained from numerical simulations and experiments show that the refractive and diffractive types exhibit a dis...
