Optical computing was a hot research area in 1980’s.But the work tapered off due to materials limitations i.e. Using light, instead of electric power, for performing computations. This choice is motivated by several features that light has: •It is very fast. •It can be easily manipulated •It is very well suited for parallelization. Why we Use Optics for Computing? : Why we Use Optics for Computing? What’s wrong with electronics? Miniaturisation can lead to cross talk Speed of electrons in matter Solid medium limits both speed and magnitude Build up to heat 30 cm length of wire produces ~ 1 ns delay Low bandwidth interconnections What’s right with Optics? Light doesn’t suffer from the electronic time response No need for insulators Optical communication: Multiplexing and different wavelengths with no interference Low signal loss, large bandwidth. Compact, lightweight, inexpensive What is Optical Computing? : What is Optical Computing? Computing with Light not Electricity Can be: Entire optical computers Optical/electronic hybrids Huge multidisciplinary research area Maths, Physics, Materials Science, Computer Science, Electronic engineering etc. OPTICAL COMPUTER : OPTICAL COMPUTER Uses the PHOTONS in visible light or infrared ( IR ) beams, rather than electric current, to perform digital computations. OPTICAL COMPUTER : OPTICAL COMPUTER Bright flashes of laser light can be sent hundreds of miles along fine strands of specially made glass or plastic called OPTICAL FIBERS. OPTICAL FIBER : OPTICAL FIBER OPTICAL COMPUTER : OPTICAL COMPUTER Instead of transistors, such a computer will have TRANSPHASORS. OPTICAL COMPUTER : OPTICAL COMPUTER Beams of light can crisscross and overlap without becoming mixed up. OPTICAL COMPUTER : OPTICAL COMPUTER The arrangement of connections and switches would not have to be flat, as in an electronic computer. It could be placed in any direction in space, allowing totally new designs in information processing. POTENTIAL OF OPTICAL COMPUTING : POTENTIAL OF OPTICAL COMPUTING A ‘primitive’ Optical chip 100,000,000 gates (108) Nanosecond switching speeds (10-9) Capable of performing 1017 bit operations per second Optical computers could be much faster Data traffic will get a non-electronic solution, Worldwide data traffic growing by 100% each year Terabit speeds are required – optical can provide An Optical Chip : An Optical Chip MERITS : MERITS Optical storage will provide an extremely optimized way to store data.
