Femtosecond pulse processing

We discuss Fourier methods for shaping and processing femtosecond optical signals. Examples of applications in optical communications and in generation of terahertz radiation are presented.

Digital Pulse Processing

This thesis develops an exact approach for processing pulse signals from an integrateand-fire system directly in the time-domain. Processing is deterministic and built from simple asynchronous finite-state machines that can perform general piecewise-linear operations. The pulses can then be converted back into an analog or fixed-point digital representation through a filter-based reconstruction...

Vector Processing on Scalar Architectures

A 64-bit processor must necessarily implement substantial parallelism in the movement and processing of data. Data movement is inherently parallel at the bit level, and many operations implemented in the integer unit exhibit bit-level parallelism. A microvector is an array of small data items or bit elds packed into a single word. Scalar operations performed on a microvector can be used to impl...
