Fundamentals of Frequency Encoded Optical Logic Processors.

      Аннотация: Optical computing and optical data processing are strongly believed to be the most feasible technology that can provide way out of the extreme limitations imposed on the speed and complexity of present days’ computation and communication by conventional electronics. Optics provides higher bandwidth than electronics, which enables more information to be carried simultaneously and data to be processed in parallel with impressive increase in speed by several orders of magnitude over that of the electronic signals. If the parallelism of optics be associated with fast switching speed of optical devices, it would result in the surprising computational speed and processing of data. Considering speed and band width limitation of electronic computing, signal processing, and future problem of data traffic, and effectiveness of optical data processors in the present scenario, the author has composed this book Fundamentals of Frequency encoded Optical Logic Processors in the field of optical computing and optical data processing. The prime utility of the frequency encoding is that as frequency is the fundamental character of the wave so it preserves its identity throughout the communication.
