Abstract
We characterize the bounds on numerical accuracy that a finite acoustic beam height will have on an analog acousto-optic algebra processor that uses coherent illumination. A Fourier optical model of our physical matrix-vector multiplier is used as a basis for the simulations.
Keywords: optical information processing, physical limits of optics in computing, optical matrix-vector systems, acousto-optical signal processing, Fourier optics, analog optical computing, spatial filtering.
