Abstract: | Optics has already been proved its successful roles for conduction of parallel logic, arithmetic and algebraic operations. Since last few decades many types of optical data processors were proposed. To implement these processors different data encoding/decoding techniques have been reported. In this context polarization encoding technique, tristate, quartenary logic, multivalued logic, symbolic substitution techniques etc. may be mentioned. Very recently, frequency encoding/decoding technique have also been well established. The potential advantage of frequency dependent encoding/decoding is that, as the frequency being the fundamental character of a signal; it will remain unaltered in reflection, refraction, absorption etc. during transmission of the signal. In this communication the authors propose a scheme for implementing different logic operations adopting frequency based encoding technique. For this purpose the second harmonic generation and difference frequency generation techniques are used by exploiting the non-linear response character of some materials. |
