Terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer based tree-net architecture for all-optical conversion scheme from binary to its other 2^n radix based form

To exploit the parallelism of optics in data processing, a suitable number system and an efficient encoding/decoding scheme for handling the data are very essential. In the field of optical computing and parallel information processing, several number systems like binary, quaternary, octal, hexadecimal, etc. have been used for different arithmetic and algebraic operations. Here, we have proposed an all-optical conversion scheme from its binary to its other 2^n radix based form with the help of terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer （TOAD） based tree-net architecture.

All-optical conversion scheme from binary to its MTN form with the help of nonlinear material based tree-net architecture

In the field of optical computing and parallel information processing, several number systems have been used for different arithmetic and algebraic operations. Therefore an efficient conversion scheme from one number system to another is very important. Modified trinary number （MTN） has already taken a significant role towards carry and borrow free arithmetic operations. In this communication, we propose a tree-net architecture based all optical conversion scheme from binary number to its MTN form. Optical switch using nonlinear material （NLM） plays an important role.
