Abstract

This paper discusses the structure and operating principles of a completely optical matrix multiplier based on an array of waveguide ring microcavities. The proposed processor makes it possible to multiply matrices when the initial data are fed in parallel. In this case, the information is processed immediately during its transmission through the optical system that implements the computational procedures. The processor can be made by an integrated process and can be an optical analog of a modern integrated circuit. The results of modelling the proposed processor are presented.
