Optical Residue Processing Module

Abstract

An experimental program was conducted which demonstrated the Source Modulator Outer Product (SMOP) concept for high speed, high efficiency residue number system (RNS) computation. The optical architecture includes the outer product portion and a mapping portion to implement a Lookup Table (LUT). A fourier transform based approach proved better suited to this architecture than did an image-based approach. Also, while the mapping was experimentally performed with optical fibers, a free-space approach based on an array of holographic optical elements is also contemplated. The end product of this research effort included experimental demonstration and a preliminary design of a high performance optical RNS processor based on the SMOP approach.
