EINDHOVEN, Netherlands -- An optical processing network that uses the effect of external feedback on the output of a laser diode to control processor responses could prove to be the harbinger of the elusive optical computer. The researchers seek to mimic, in simplified form, the parallel processing abilities of biological neurons. E.C. Mos of Philips Research Laboratories and H. de Waardt of Eindhoven University of Technology, led development of the parallel processing by splitting the beam of a diode laser into its longitudinal modes. Each mode represents one neuron that can have a number of...Read full article
