Abstract

We discuss the diffraction properties and the applications to optical computing and information processing based on anisotropic diffraction in a normal-cut BaTiO₃. The formula of diffraction efficiency under Bragg mismatch is derived. It fits well to the experimental results. We also discuss some applications, including optical digital logic operations, optical interconnections, matrix-matrix multiplexing, central-symmetric filters and incoherent-to- coherent optical converters.
