Reconfigurable bipolar analog optical crossbar switch

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A differential technique is proposed for obtaining bipolar analog {−1…0…1} inputs, outputs, and connection weights in a mask-type optical crossbar switch. The technique compensates for the limitations of current component technology and permits the use of inexpensive, low-contrast spatial light modulators for reconfigurable switching matrices. The conclusions of this work may be extended to design improvements in a wide variety of optical computing implementations.
