Abstract

A method of transforming a two dimensional input image into a one dimensional time sequenced serial string at the speed of light is described. The image is transformed into serial information by varying the optical path length (OPL) relative to the position of the images pixel in space. The light traverses each pixel and enters an optical system which has varying OPL associated with each pixel. The OPL associated with each pixel will be modified with respect to every other pixel based on position. This modification allows a transformation into a timed sequence of pulses. This paper gives the computations for the various OPLs needed. It starts with a one dimensional system then expands to a two dimensional system.
