A hybrid time and space integrating processor is shown to provide more than one operation per analog to digital conversion. A preferred performance measure, operations per second per component, is used to compare bit-sliced digital and high accuracy optical processors using the digital multiplication-by-analog-convolution algorithm. Optical system performance is shown to increase nearly quadratically with the speed of its components, while digital systems increase only linearly.
We introduce the notion of optimal phase-only filters (OPOFs) that yield improved signal to noise ratios (SNRs). We illustrate the improvement in SNR resulting from the use of OPOFs with the help of several analytical...

Optical systems and algorithms are presented for implementing digit-serial (or on-line) computations. These systems achieve high accuracy without the need for A-Ds and incorporate parallelism and carry-free addition to achieve high processing speed. On-line arithmetic allows parallel calculations to be performed by concurrent execution of operations. (Consecutive operations can start before all digits of the previous operations are available.) The algorithms are problem- and step-invariant and inherently allow variable precision as we show. To achieve parallelism, we introduce the modified signed-digit number representation into these algorithms and architectures. This results in new arithmetic rules (new addition rules, a different number of bits needed, a different number of cycles required) from those in conventional digital digit-serial systems. We include sufficient detail (not readily available elsewhere) needed for the design of the units we include. New architectures using optical bistable devices and optical interconnects are described that can implement digit-serial addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division algorithms in this new approach.

Selected algorithms for adding to and deleting from optical pseudoinverse associative memories are presented and compared. New realizations of pseudoinverse updating methods using vector inner product matrix bordering and reduced-dimensionality Karhunen-Loeve approximations (which have been used for updating optical filters) are described in the context of associative memories. Greville’s theorem is reviewed and compared with the Widrow-Hoff algorithm. Kohonen’s gradient projection method is expressed in a different form suitable for optical implementation. The data matrix memory is also discussed for comparison purposes. Memory size, speed and ease of updating, and key vector requirements are the comparison criteria used.

We present a new 1-D acoustooptic architecture to subtract two signals that are subpixel shifted. The architecture allows for optical interpolation and electrical control of the shift between frames. We demonstrate the use of 1-D projections of 2-D image frames to achieve subpixel shifts and interpolation between successive image frames for the purpose of detecting and tracking subpixel sized targets.
