A new optical packaging technique, which we call reflective block optics, for optical computing systems is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. This technique is based on solid optics, which is advantageous with respect to stability, reliability, and alignability. Reflective lenses are used to attain high lens power, compactness, and a large space-bandwidth product. Glass blocks, cube beam splitters, and reflective optical elements are combined to form optical blocks. We can construct…

TLDR
The 2 x 2 bypass/exchange switch can be realized by the same duplicate, shift, superimpose and masking procedures as used for perfect shuffle interconnection, which means a single optical setup can be used to realize these two stages.
A compact implementation of optical Omega network
TLDR
The computer simulations show the filter the authors calculated has expected distortion invariance, however, the filter calculated from a single harmonic includes the limited part of information of training pattems, which would be necessary for the correct detection or classification of the patterns.
