Optical apparatus using a 2D-spatial light modulator

摘要

An optical apparatus comprises a 2D-spatial light modulator, an input-ring array, an output-ring array and an optical interconnect. The 2D-spatial light modulator produces a modulated light beam for each of a plurality of processing elements. The modulated light beams have a plurality of light wavelengths. An input-ring array receives the plurality of data modulated light beams. An output-ring array outputs a light beam to each processing element. An optical interconnect transfers light from the input-ring array to the output ring array and uniquely rotates each wavelength of the transferred light.
