• Abstract : Novel all-optical parallel implementations of encoder and decoder systems for error detection and correction with linear codes are proposed. The key components are optical vector-matrix multipliers and optical lookup tables. Evaluation is mode of the overall system throughput and the hardware requirement with a case of a simple (7,4) Hamming error-detection coding for a two-dimensional picture of 1000 �~ 1000 pixels with near-future ferroelectric liquid-crystal devices, which results in a best throughput of approximately 5.6 �~ 1010 pixels/s and a size of 1cm�~ 1cm with a combination of time-and space-division techniques.
