Optical Processor/Computer?
Functions most frequently used•Fourier Transform (demultiplexing/multiplexing)•Correlation (pattern detection)•Data distribution and replication
… a machine that performs
mathematical functions with light rather than
electrons

History vs. Mythology
•Optical Computing is 50 years old•Mostly US Government Projects•Very Expensive•Component Technology – CLASSSIFIED•“Niche Technology”
•Wideband signal analysis•cryptography
HistoryHistory
•Too expensive for the Real World•Still CLASSIFIED•Built only by PhD’s•Rarity in the Real World
MythologyMythology

Why go to Optical Processors?
• Speed
• Reduced size and power consumption
• OEO Overhead & Cost are Excessive (optical - electrical - optical)
• Natural Fit:Optical Processing for Optical
Communications
• Typical improvement is a factor of 50000

Future Optical Communications
• Integrated optical processing will…– Improve Performance
– Provide security
– Provide switching and routing functions
• Networks will tend to be more transparent• Networks will operate at lower power
levels approaching the quantum limit

Ready for Prime Time?
• Government continues to invest in compact supercomputing capability
• Many commercial applications using supercomputing power at commercial prices
• Telecom revolution has lowered the cost and improved the availability of optical components
• Telecom and computing industries are confronting wideband signal processing requirements• Encryption• Channelization• Correlation

Where’s the Market?
• Bandwidth demand continues to at least double each year
• Vendor inventories from the “overbuild” are gone
• Network is “at capacity” at many exchange points
• Sales are happening• Metro and Access are
building to increase sales and meet demand
