Polarization- and space-encoded parallel optical fuzzy logic processor.
A novel polarization- and space-encoded parallel optical fuzzy logic processor is proposed and demonstrated by use of optical fan-out elements and polarization multiplexing. Sixteen fuzzy logic operations between two inputs are achieved with a simple data-encoding scheme. Our system exhibits a high operation speed, a high signalto- noise ratio, a large information throughput, and the capacity to operate on two channels of polarization states independently.
