This book, Modular optical systems for nonlinear
data processing and manipulation, presents the PhD
thesis under the same name, submitted in 2003. The
work combines knowledge in image processing,
switching in communication networks and knowledge in
modern optics, especially in the field of
Diffractive Optical Elements (D.O.E). The main
topics covered in this book are: Multi stage binary
phase-only image processing, Optical multi stage
interconnection network (MIN) optimization, Optical
implementation of non-linear operators such as the
Volterra operators, and Optical implementation of
Fuzzy logic controllers. This book covers a variety
of fields relevant for electrical engineers
interested in exploring the wonderful world of
optics from the system designer point of view and
offer a window to some of the most fascinating
applications of optical systems.
