Abstract:
1. A reconfiguration controlling apparatus for an optically reconfigurable gate array characterized by the fact that said apparatus comprises: a reproduction-light-causing irradiation means for emitting reproduction-light-causing irradiation lights, and for carrying out irradiation with the reproduction-light-causing irradiation lights; an optical memory means for projecting an optical pattern by the irradiation with said reproduction-light-causing irradiation lights based on a piece of record information previously stored therein, and for emitting a control signal light regarding an optical reconfiguration based on the optical pattern concerned; an optical reconfiguration type gate array for reconfiguring a plurality of arrayed logical arithmetic operation cells as one of various logical arithmetic operation circuits based on the projection of the optical pattern, and for outputting an optical control signal based on the control signal light; and a reproduction-light-causing irradiation control means for controlling the emission of the reproduction-light-causing irradiation lights from said reproduction-light-causing irradiation means based on said optical control signal.
