Abstract

The frequency-multiplexed optical linear algebra processor (OLAP) is treated in detail with attention to its performance in the solution of systems of linear algebraic equations (LAEs). General guidelines suitable for most OLAPs, including digital–optical processors, are advanced concerning system and component error source models, guidelines for appropriate use of direct and iterative algorithms, the dominant error sources, and the effect of multiple simultaneous error sources. Specific results are advanced on the quantitative performance of both direct and iterative algorithms in the solution of systems of LAEs and in the solution of nonlinear matrix equations. Acoustic attenuation is found to dominate iterative algorithms and detector noise to dominate direct algorithms. The effect of multiple spatial errors is found to be additive. A theoretical expression for the amount of acoustic attenuation allowed is advanced and verified. Simulations and experimental data are included.
