Abstract

A method for optical parallel processing in an algorithm for prime factorization is proposed as a brief announcement. In this method, amplitude modulation is utilized whereas our conventional method is based on phase modulation. The proposed method is suitable for the optical Fourier transform. This feature is considered to be useful in prime factorization. Basic concept of the proposed method is shown in this report.
