Embodiment
For the application that makes optical computer is further deepened, the polarization stability problem that solves the VCSEL light source is an important key, just can finish computation process with one road polarized light simultaneously, thereby need not two-way light is modulated respectively, the structure of system also will be simplified greatly like this, computational accuracy improves more, can satisfy the multi-grey level computing, reduces processing, assembling and the debugging difficulty of this system simultaneously.
As shown in Figure 4, this VCSEL light source is used for optics vector-matrix multiplier and realizes that stable polarized approach is: by at VCSEL light source 61 perforation holes one sub-wave length grating being set.The effect of this sub-wave length grating is a polarization of stablizing the VCSEL light source, and what do not change simultaneously VCSEL again goes out the variation of firing association's light intensity with electric current.Be applied to optics vector-matrix multiplication system as light source, can well avoid under different current drives, VCSEL emergent light polarization problem of unstable has also satisfied when the multi-grey level computing simultaneously, is the monotonically increasing relation between VCSEL output intensity and the drive current.Its principle of work is as follows: sub-wave length grating just is equivalent to the reflection of a coupled outside device, when the illumination of VCSEL outgoing is mapped on the sub-wave length grating, because the variation that VCSEL outgoing polarisation of light is not stopping, so the polarisation of light of coupled outside device (sub-wave length grating just) reflected back also not stopping variation, has just formed the vibration of similar intra resonant cavity between sub-wave length grating and VCSEL perforation hole.Because the asymmetry of sub-wave length grating itself just can select the outgoing polarisation of light in certain specific polarization direction by sub-wave length grating, so the outgoing polarisation of light has just been realized stablizing by this structure.This VCSEL light source can the outgoing linearly polarized photon, its output intensity with the change trend curve of injection current as shown in Figure 6, it has preferable linear increment relation.

The principle of work of this optics vector-matrix multiplier is: the linearly polarized light of VCSEL light source 61 outgoing is through 64 pairs of beam shapings of an imaging system, through polarization splitting prism 65 beam split, a branch of polarized light of telling is through a quarter-wave plate 66, becoming left-handed rotation (or right-handed rotation) shines on the spatial light modulator 62, modulation through each pixel of modulator absorbs then, the light of reflected back is owing to there is half-wave loss, become right-handed rotation (or left-handed rotation), become the light of another polarization direction again through quarter-wave plate 66, propagate along another direction by polarization splitting prism 65 backs, pass through the shaping of imaging system 67 at last, shine on the respective pixel of detector 63 and obtain result of calculation.This multiplier system of the present invention is compared with the EnLight256 system, modulator, detector and quarter-wave plate all only need one, last polarization splitting prism also no longer needs, and no longer needs simultaneously the strict symmetry of two-way light, and the strict phase of light path or the like requirement.
