Key Components Of Ternary Optical Computer

Two perpendicular polarized light states and a no-light state are applied to express information in the ternary optical computer. The three states are transformed via two-dimension liquid crystal element and polarizators, and ternary arithmetic operation and ternary logical calculus completed directly in this way. The ternary optical computer will possess enormously number of bit (easy to 104), light processor, light transmission path and electric control system. Meanwhile, it will parallel work in space and time.At the present time,the theory of ternary optical computer has received many attentions from state, university and school.But it is vital to the new type computer that to validate the correctness of this theory, so we must mend and perfect step by step the ternary optical compute theory through experiments.The mainly working of the author in the master studying period is to design and implement some key components of ternary optical computer,it covers: coder and decoder multi-bit coder and decoder and ternary logical calculus. This discourse is an summary of this working period, the main contents as follows:1. The summary of optical computer.2. The introduction of the ternary optical computer principle and basic construction.3. Designs and implement of three state light encoder and decoder.4. Designs and implement ternary logical calculus.
