High accuracy computation with linear analog optical systems: a critical study
High accuracy optical processors based on the algorithm of digital multiplication by analog convolution (DMAC) are studied for ultimate performance limitations. Variations of optical processors that perform high accuracy vector-vector inner products are studied in abstract and with specific examples. It is concluded that the use of linear analog optical processors in performing digital computations with DMAC leads to impractical requirements for the accuracy of analog optical systems and the complexity of postprocessing electronics
Optical computing: introduction by the guest editors to the feature in the 1 May 1988 issue
The feature in the 1 May 1988 issue of Applied Optics includes a collection of papers originally presented at the 1987 Lake Tahoe Topical Meeting on Optical Computing. These papers emphasize digital optical computing systems, optical interconnects, and devices for optical computing, but analog optical processing is considered as well
Electronic structure and optical band gap of CoFe2O4 thin films
Electronic structure and optical band gap of CoFe2O4 thin films grown on
(001) oriented LaAlO3 have been investigated. Surprisingly, these films show
additional Raman modes at room temperature as compared to a bulk spinel
structure. The splitting of Raman modes is explained by considering the
short-range ordering of Co and Fe cations in octahedral site of spinel
structure. In addition, an expansion of band-gap is observed with the reduction
of film thickness, which is explained by the quantum size effect and misfit
dislocation. Such results provide interesting insights for the growth of spinel
phases.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, and 1 table; Accepted and to be

Raman spectra and Magnetization of all-ferromagnetic superlattices grown on (110) oriented SrTiO3
Superlattices consist of two ferromagnets La0.7Sr0.3MnO3(LSMO)and SrRuO3(SRO)
were grown in (110)-orientation on SrTiO3(STO) substrates. The x-ray
diffraction and Raman spectra of these superlattices show the presence of
in-plane compressive strain and orthorhombic structure of less than 4 u.c.
thick LSMO spacer,respectively. Magnetic measurements reveal several features
including reduced magnetization, enhanced coercivity, antiferromagnetic
coupling, and switching from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic coupling with
magnetic field orientations. These magnetic properties are explained by the
observed orthorhombic structure of spacer LSMO in Raman scattering which occurs
due to the modification in the stereochemistry of Mn at the interfaces of SRO
and LSMO
