In this paper, the implementation of modified signed-digit (MSD) floating-point division using Newton-Raphson method on the system of ternary optical computer (TOC) is studied. Since the addition of MSD floating-point is carry-free and the digit width of the system of TOC is large, it is easy to deal with the enough wide data and transform the division operation into multiplication and addition operations. And using data scan and truncation the problem of digits expansion is effectively solved in the range of error limit. The division gets the good results and the efficiency is high. The instance of MSD floating-point division shows that the method is feasible.展开更多

B...The elastic, thermodynamic, electronic, and optical properties of recently discovered and potentially technologically important transition metal boride NbRuB, are investigated using the density functional formalism. Both generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA) are used for optimizing the geometry and for estimating various elastic moduli and constants. The optical properties of NbRuB are studied for the first time with different photon polarizations. The frequency (energy) dependence of various optical constants complement quite well the essential features of the electronic band structure calculations. Debye temperature of NbRuB is estimated from the thermodynamical study. All these theoretical estimates are compared with published results, where available, and discussed in detail. Both electronic band structure and optical conductivity reveal robust metallic characteristics. The NbRuB possesses significant elastic anisotropy. Electronic features, on the other hand, are almost isotropic in nature. The effects of electronic band structure and Debye temperature on the emergence of superconductivity are also analyzed.展开更多

The system is provided with a second differential delay circuit with bias control to process optimally gray signals by lowering their averaged level using a clamping circuit. This is added to the primary conventional differential delay circuit without bias control and a comparator to process optimally black signals based on the envelope-differential fixed-period delay (EDFPD) detection technique. This method enables the system to detect over a longer range at high speeds while being capable of handling a large amount of information. The estimate results of gray and white code widths against the clamp bias made through the dynamic operation simulation of a differential circuit using SPICE were nearly consistent with the experimental results. Thereby we can conclude that the dynamic simulation is effective for estimation of an optimum clamp bias voltage. It was confirmed that the detection range of the system with a clamp bias voltage of ?0.4 V for a minimum bar width W = 0.25 mm was 1.4 times that of the conventional EDFPD detection technique. In addition, the system operated at a maximum scanning speed of 7.7 times that of conventional CCD cameras under the practical detection range. The system with clamp bias control is expected to enable the real-time identification of goods on production lines and in automated warehouses.展开更多
The linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients(ACs)and refraction index changes(RICs)of 1s-1p,1p-1d,and 1f-1d transitions are investigated in a wurtzite InxGa1-xN/GaN core-shell quantum dot(CSQD)with donor i...The linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients(ACs)and refraction index changes(RICs)of 1s-1p,1p-1d,and 1f-1d transitions are investigated in a wurtzite InxGa1-xN/GaN core-shell quantum dot(CSQD)with donor impurity by using density matrix approach.The effects of built-in electric field(BEF),ternary mixed crystal(TMC),impurity,and CSQD size are studied in detail.The finite element method is used to calculate the ground and excited energy state energy and wave function.The results reveal that the BEF has a great influence on the linear,nonlinear,and total ACs and RICs.The presence of impurity leads the resonant peaks of the ACs and RICs to be blue-shifted for all transitions,especially for 1s-1p transition.It is also found that the resonant peaks of the ACs and RICs present a red shift with In-composition decreasing or core radius increasing.Moreover,the amplitudes of the ACs and RICs are strongly affected by the incident optical intensity.The absorption saturation is more sensitive without the impurity than with the impurity,and the appearance of absorption saturation requires a larger incident optical intensity when considering the BEF.展开更多

Based on the theory proposed, the principles and the regulations of the DRD for making operation units of multi-valued operation with carrying/borrowing free are also presented. The research work has come to the following important conclusion: let D be a special state contained in n physical informative states, then one may figure out any multi-valued processors within n^(n×n) carrying/borrowing free n-valued units by the composition some of n×n×(n-1) simplest basic operating units according to the regulations of DRD proposed in this paper. The detailed systematic way of our design regulations is highlighted step by step in the paper with an example of design of a tri-valued logic optical operating unit. The real architecture, the procedure, and the experimental results of our sample in tri-valued logic operating unit are given. Finally, a re-constructible model of ternary logical optical processor is introduced. The theory proposed in the paper has laid down a solid foundation for the design of re-constructible carrying/borrowing free operating units in ternary optical computers and can be widely used as the designing reference in a variety of multi-valued logic operating units.展开更多
