Abstract
This paper proposes a technique for synthesizing incoherent optical pr ocessor systems that carry out operations for multiplying matrices of arbitrary dimension and for solving matrix equations with a speed that makes them promising for optical processors. Additional advantages of the proposed systems are their simplicity and the possibility of usin g integrated-optical technology to implement them. (C) 1996 The Optica l Society of America.
