Item Open Access Elements of a hybrid interconnection theory(Optical Society of America, 1994-05-10) Özaktaş, Haldun M.; Goodman, J. W.We present a textbooklike treatment of hybrid systems employing both optical and electrical interconnections. We investigate how these two different interconnection media can be used in conjunction to realize a system not possible with any alone. More specifically, we determine the optimal mix of optical and normally conducting interconnections maximizing a given figure-of-merit function. We find that optical interconnections have relatively little to offer if the optical paths are constrained to lie on a plane (such as in an integrated optics system). However, if optical paths are permitted to leave the plane, they may enable considerable increase in performance. In any event the prize in terms of performance is accompanied by a penalty in terms of system power and/or size.Item Open Access Optical information processing: A historical overview(Academic Press, 2021-12) Özaktaş, Haldun Memduh; Kutay, Mehmet AlperOptical information processing lies at the intersection of optics and signal processing. It involves the processing of optical information as well as the use of optical means to process information, the later being the main emphasis of this work. A historical review of various forms of optical signal processing and holography, optoelectronic and digital optical computing, and optical interconnections is given.Item Open Access Optical-coordinate transformation methods and optical-interconnection architectures(Optical Society of America, 1993) Mendlovic, D.; Özaktaş, Haldun M.The analogy between optical one-to-one point transformations and optical one-to-one interconnections is discussed. Methods for performing both operations are reviewed and compared. The multifacet and multistage architectures have the flexibility to implement any arbitrary one-to-one transformation or interconnection pattern. The former would be preferred for low-cost and low-resolution applications, whereas the latter would be preferred for high-cost and high-performance applications.
