Abstract

The intrinsic accuracy due to the physical limitations of the Bragg diffraction is analyzed for the integrated optical Givens rotation device. This device is a basic building block for analog vector and matrix operations. The equivalent fixed point and floating point digital accuracies of the device are analyzed. Under various measures of proximity, it is shown that the accuracies can be as high as 10 bits.
