Abstract:

The work covers several different areas of optical computing, as well as some work on digital processing of optically obtained images. The primary emphasis of the work is on the possible applications of optics to interconnections in integrated circuit technology. Other areas of effort include the diagonalization and inversion of circulant matrices using coherent optics, the division of complex wavefronts using four-wave mixing, and the suppression of speckle in coherently formed images. Publications during the last year arising out of work supported by the grant are also detailed.
