Abstract
A electrooptic systolic array architecture performs matrix-matrix multiplication using incoherent light. The incoherent light is collimated and passed through a polarizing beamsplitter and onto a pair of optically reflecting light valves. Each of the valves has a number of cells which are continuously being updated in a clocked sequence to vary their reflectivity in acc PAC STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTEREST The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
