VCSEL Applications to Optical Information Processing Systems.

A Method to Justify Process Control Systems in Mineral Processing Applications

The impact of installing process control systems can be expected in terms of performance improvements through reduced operating costs.  Since these installations impose considerable capital expenditure, the profitability of the new systems should be economically justified. Controlled variable trend was reconstructed by a combination of simple waves, which provided a means to simulate the ef...

Optical Elastography: From Theory to Clinical Applications

Systems for Optical Storage and Processing of Information

Optical memory disks in optical information processing.

We describe the use of optical memory disks as elements in optical information processing architectures. The optical disk is an optical memory device with a storage capacity approaching 10(10) bits which is naturally suited to parallel access. We discuss optical disk characteristics which are important in optical computing systems such as contrast, diffraction efficiency, and phase uniformity. ...

CMOS Circuits for VCSEL - Based Optical

Electrical IO is becoming limited by copper interconnect channel losses that depend on frequency and distance. Package-to-package optical interconnects see negligible frequency-dependent channel losses, but data rates are limited by the intrinsic optical dynamics and electrical parasitics of the optical devices. This thesis presents 90nm CMOS front-end circuits which apply techniques to operate...
