Computer-Aided Design Package for Designers of Digital Optical Computers

Abstract

The primary goals of the effort are to create methods for designing digital optical computers, and to investigate aspects of optical interconnection that influence the design process. The emphasis is on the Bell Labs style of architecture, in which arrays of optical logic gates are interconnected in free space with regular patterns at the gate-level. Other approaches are also explored that make use of hybrid technology (smart pixels), irregular interconnects, and reconfigurable interconnects, and reconfigurable interconnects
