Analog computing by Brewster effect
arXiv:1604.07368 · doi:10.1364/OL.41.003467
Abstract
Optical computing has emerged as a promising candidate for real-time and parallel continuous data processing. Motivated by recent progresses in metamaterial-based analog computing [Science 343, 160 (2014)], we theoretically investigate realization of two-dimensional complex mathematical operations using rotated configurations, recently reported in [Opt. Lett. 39, 1278 (2014)]. Breaking the reflection symmetry, such configurations could realize both even and odd Green's functions associated with spatial operators. Based on such appealing theory and by using Brewster effect, we demonstrate realization of a first-order differentiator. Such efficient wave-based computation method not only circumvents the major potential drawbacks of metamaterials, but also offers the most compact possible device compared to the conventional bulky lens-based optical signal and data processors.
