A control unit for a laser module of optoelectronic computing environment with dynamic architecture

Abstract

The paper presents the developed control unit of laser modules of optoelectronic acousto-optic computing environment. The unit is based on ARM micro¬con¬troller of Cortex M3 family, and allows alternating between recording (erase) and reading modes in accordance with a predetermined algorithm and settings — exposure time and intensity. The principal electric circuit of the presented device, the block diagram of microcontroller algorithm, and the example application of the developed control unit in the layout of the experimental setup are provided.
