This study introduces pagewise mutual information for analyzing optical systems, enhancing optical data storage and computing. A new merit function improves information throughput by 8% and reduces bit-error rate by 36%.

Area of Science:

  • Optical Engineering
  • Information Theory
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Optical systems for data storage, computing, and interconnects require precise manipulation of binary images.
  • Such systems can be modeled as 2D arrays of binary communication channels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce pagewise mutual information as a metric for optical system analysis and design.
  • To develop a novel merit function for information-based optical system design.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Fresnel propagation and coherent imaging using mutual information.
  • Development of an information-based space-bandwidth product for 4f systems.
  • Proposal of a radially weighted encircled-energy merit function.
