Coherent Input Devices for Parallel Optical Computing.

Coherent optical computing for T-ray imaging.

Single-point imagery of 2D objects is proposed by exploiting the extreme broadband nature of an ultrafast terahertz wave. In the proposed imagery, a collimated terahertz beam is illuminated on an object, and the scattered fields are measured through a hole at the Fourier plane in a conventional terahertz time-domain spectroscope. This arrangement allows conversion of radial spatial frequencies ...

Coherent Optical Multiple-Input Multiple-Output communication

We propose and demonstrate the Coherent Optical Multiple-InputMultiple-Output (COMIMO) communication technique. In analogy to the spatial diversity in wireless communication, the concept exploits the modal diversity, inherent in a multi-mode fiber (MMF), to transmit independent data channels through a single fiber without the need for wavelength division multiplexing. Central to the MIMO concep...

Optical Techniques for Parallel Image Computing

Parallel and Sequential Optical Computing

We present a number of computational complexity results for an optical model of computation called the continuous space machine. We also describe an implementation for an optical computing algorithm that can be easily defined within the model. Our optical model is designed to model a wide class of optical computers, such as matrix vector multipliers and pattern recognition architectures. It is ...

Utilizing optical sensors from mice for new input devices

This paper introduces approaches towards the development of intuitive input devices built with optical sensors from mice. The two main ideas are spatial reconfiguration of the sensor and advanced interpretation of the sensor data. We present new concepts for various input devices that are easy to rebuild. A prototype for kinematics manipulation of virtual characters has been constructed and alg...
