ABSTRACT:
A nonlinear optical matrix multiplier includes a nonlinear optical medium with a first optical input beam impinging on the medium, the transverse spatial intensity of the first input beam being modulated by a first two dimensional matrix. A second optical input beam impinges on the medium, with the transverse spatial intensity of the second input beam being modulated by a second two dimensional matrix. An optical probe beam impinges on the medium, the first input beam, the second input beam, and the probe beam being oriented with respect to one another and with respect to the medium such that the beams interact within the medium by means of four-wave mixing. A diffracted output beam emerges from the medium, with the transverse spatial intensity of the output beam modulated by the product of the first and second matrices.
