Fast digital optical multiplication using an array of binary symmetric logic counters

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Because of the lack of fast, accurate, and large dynamic range analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), optical implementation of the digital multiplication through analog convolution (DMAC) algorithm yields a slow digital multiplier. By replacing both the optical adder and ADC arrays by an optical combinatorial logic counter array, a new optical fast digital multiplication method is proposed. Compared to the existing optical DMAC scheme, the new method promises both higher processing speed and accuracy. A comparison of this and some of the other optical and electronic fast digital multiplication schemes is also presented.
