Abstract

A microcomputer-based optical linear transformation processing system is described. This system utilizes two patially parallel addressable magnetooptic spatial light modulators and a CCD detector to perform high speed electrooptical operation. A systolic array processing scheme is employed in this system to implement various linear transformations, for example, discrete Fourier transformation, discrete Hilbert transformation, chirp-Z transformation, and many others.
