Abstract

The main advantage of optical image processing with respect to its electronic counterpart is the high degree of parallelism. This characteristic can be boosted by feeding an optical system with several channels simultaneously. Several ways to perform this multiplexing can be devised. In this talk we focus on the spatial multiplexing, were several channels share the spatial bandwidth of the system input and wavelength multiplexing, were the channels are input in different wavelengths simultaneously. Principle and applications are discussed, along with several possible architectures for image processing systems.
