OPTICAL FUNCTION GENERATOR Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: special-purpose computer engineering, in particular, design of optical computers. SUBSTANCE: device has two optical waveguides, group of optical Y-splitters, linear optical modulator, and optical transparency unit. Output of light source is connected to input of input optical Y- splitter, which first output is connected to is connected through optical transparency unit to input of first optical waveguide. Its second output is connected to information input of linear optical modulator, which control input serves as device input. Its inputs are connected through optical transparency unit to input of second optical waveguide and inputs of group of optical Y-splitters, which outputs of first optical branches are connected to inputs of linear optical modulator. Outputs of their second optical branches are connected to outputs of both optical waveguides and provide device output. EFFECT: simplified design. 1 dwg
