An optical isochronous array processing method is proposed. An optical isochronous array processor (OIAP) is a local regularly interconnected processing network that employs an array of identical optical processing elements. In an OIAP, incoming isochronous data are parallel processed in a fashion much like a propagating electromagnetic wavefront. For the various applications, the OIAP processing elements and their interconnections can be different. In this paper, various all-optical OIAP elements are considered. Applications ranging from optical binary number multiplication preprocessing to optical matrix algebra as well as to optical residue arithmetic are presented.
提出了一种光学同步阵列处理方法。光学同步阵列处理器（OIAP）是一种局部规则互连的处理网络，它采用了相同光学处理元件的阵列。在OIAP中，输入的同步数据以类似于传播的电磁波前的方式进行并行处理。对于各种应用，OIAP的处理元件及其互连可以不同。本文考虑了各种全光学OIAP元件。介绍了从光学二进制数乘法预处理到光学矩阵代数以及光学余数算术等应用。
