Implementation of Iterative Algorithms for an Optical Signal Processor

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of implementing an iterative algorithm such as the conjugate gradient algorithm in an optical signal processor. This research is an extension of work done as part of the Summer Faculty Research Program (SFRP) in 1986 at RADC. The period of performance covered by this report is 1 March 1987 to 31 March 1988. The SFRP work focused on a prototype acousto-optic signal processor which was already in experimental operation as part of an RADC project. This processor uses a variation of the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. The goal of the current project is to investigate more powerful algorithms such as conjugate gradient that might provide improved performance for such a processor.
