OPTICAL DATA PROCESSING LABORATORY COURSES


   The laboratory course proposed makes it pos-sible to introduce modern information technologies based on the optical data processing into the acade-mic plan of higher school.


   The course includes the following laboratory works:

• Optical bistability

• Intensity self-oscillations and optical chao

• Optical logic element

• Spatial image filtering



   The laboratory works are performed with the use of a fundamental component base and the unique equipment involving liquid-crystal (LC) cells. The components are easily adjusted with magnetic holders at a metallic plate measuring no less than 600 800 mm.



   The laboratory bench comprises:

• Complete set of mechanical and optical components

• Semiconductor laser

• Video camera

• Analog-to-digital converter

• Computerized data processing system







   Optical bistability:

• Optical bistability and its realization conditions

• Characteristics of optoelectronic LC system with feedback

• Control over the hysteresis loop of LC system

• Analysis of the modes of differential amplification, discriminator, limiter



   Intensity self-oscillations and optical chaos:

• Theoretical principles of nonlinear oscillations

• Self-oscillations and stochastic operating modes of coupled optoelectronic LC elements

• Analysis for Fourier-spectra of signals and phase traces

• Procedures to attain optical chaos



   Optical logic elements:

• Basics of digital data processing

• Principles of constructing optical logic elements

• Schemes for realization of optical logic operations based on optoelectronic LC cells

• Characteristics of LC elements and realization of the main logic operations



   Spatial image filtering:

• Principal concepts and relations of Fourier-optics

• Study of the schemes for optical data processing using spatial image filtering

• Spatial Fourier-spectra. Isolation of particular fragments (letters, symbols) and contrast control



   The equipment proposed enables research associated with the deve-lopment of new information processing techniques and design of multi-functional optoelectronic elements.
