I am looking for articles & references on Optical Crossbars, particularly those implemented with optical waveguides (fiber optics & integrated optics). Theoretical, experimental, and combinations are of interest. Please send e-mail directly to me, and I will summarize the results. (Please indicate from which group you read this.) --Martin H. Davis, Jr.

My apologies to the net for not posting this information sooner. As you recall, I asked several weeks ago for information about optical crossbars. Appearing first are the replies I received; next I list the major references I found. -------------------------------------- >From israel@styx.rutgers.edu Wed. Apr 12 10:58:55 1989 While at Texas Instruments I wrote a paper about Gaussian elimination on an optical corssbar switch. You can find it in the magazine: "Mathematics and Computers in Simulation" Dec 1987 or i cn send you a copy if you give me your address. izzy nelken ----------------------------------------- >From tpink@umunhum.stanford.edu Wed.
