Abstract

The first complete conceptual demonstration of an optical waveguide circuit data processor is presented. Unique to this design is the use of residue number system methods which are efficiently combined with the optical hardware. A least-mean-square adaptive filter algorithm with eight weights is used as a vehicle to exercise the technological problem. Computational rates of 2500 million operations per second (i.e., 2.5 G ops) are expected.
