当前,我们正在俄亥俄州立大学电子科学实验室进行有关特定用途光计算机的研究工作。我们已探索了达到这一目的的几种途径。在这些途径中,我们的兴趣在于数值或数字计算,而没有考虑模拟光信号处理。光信号处理的优点在于它有并行处理的能力,这种能力依靠并行处理的空间光调制器来保证。为此目的,我们选用了休斯公司的液晶光阀,这种光阀能处理每平方英寸面积上有500×500个象元列阵信息。我们用了休斯公司的一种特殊类型的液晶光 Currently, we are conducting research on specific-purpose optical computers at the Electronic Science Laboratory at Ohio State University. We have explored several ways to accomplish this. Of these approaches, our interest lies in numerical or numerical calculations, without considering analog optical signal processing. The advantage of optical signal processing is that it has the ability to process in parallel, which capability relies on the parallel processing of spatial light modulator to ensure. For this purpose, we chose Hughes liquid crystal light valve, which can handle 500 × 500 pixel array information per square inch area. We used Hughes’ special type of liquid crystal light
