TeraOPS performance from optically based DSP
Lenslet Labs has unveiled the architecture of the world's first commercial reconfigurable optically based digital signal processing engine (ODSPE).
The EnLight256 enables cost-effective breakthrough solutions in homeland security, video compression, video processing, medical imaging and wireless systems.
"We are honoured that Electronic Products, a leading information source for electronics design engineers, chose our EnLight256 as product of the year", said Lenslet's CEO, Aviram Sariel.
"Receiving this award validates the value Lenslet's electro-optic technology brings to the electronic design community, opening new frontiers for product vendors.
EnLight based systems, being designed today, will dominate their markets due to advanced features, low cost and small size".
Chosen from thousands of products introduced in 2003, Electronic Products' awards went to 18 products that provide "significant advances in technology or its application, a decided innovation in design, or a substantial gain in price-performance".
"Speculation about extremely fast optical computing has existed since the invention of the laser.
Delivering on those predictions, the first commercially available optical DSP, the EnLight256, can perform 8 x 10e12 operations in a single second - a speed roughly three orders of magnitude faster than traditional devices", said Alix Paultre, Senior Editor of Electronic Products Magazine.
