ANALYSIS OF THE PRECISION PARAMETERS OF A N OPTOELECTRONIC VECTOR-MATRIX PROCESSOR OF DIGITAL INFORMATION

Mathematical models of components of a vector-matrix optoelectronic mu ltiplier are considered. Perturbing factors influencing a real optoele ctronic system--noise and errors of radiation sources and detectors, n onlinearity of an analogue-digital converter, nonideal optical systems --are taken into account. Analytic expressions are obtained for relati ng the precision of such a multiplier to the probability of an error a mounting to one bit, to the parameters describing the quality of the m ultiplier components, and to the quality of the optical system of the processor. Various methods of increasing the dynamic range of a multip lier are considered at the technical systems level.
