β¦ Synopsis
We present a logical design of an all-optical processor that performs modular arithmetic. The overall design is based a set of interconnected modules that use all-optical gates to perform simple logical functions. The all-optical logic gates are based on the semiconductor optical amplifier nonlinear loop. Simulation results are presented and some practical design issues are discussed.

We present an Optical Interface Message Processor (OPTIMP) that exploits the high bandwidth, parallelism, multidimensional capability, and high storage density offered by optics. Switching and routing functions are performed in the optical domain and thus OPTIMP does not suffer from the optical/elec
An all-optical packet ΓΏltering module for WDM broadcast-and-select star networks is introduced. At each time instant, only one packet per wavelength is allowed to pass to the star coupler. Therefore, collisions are avoided and the network performance is improved. The proposed module is based on the
A restructurable (reconfigurable) parallel VLSI processor designed to minimize the operation delay time which can be generally used for various operations necessary for controlling an intelligent robot was proposed previously by the authors. This processor is constructed by connecting a number of pr
