| abstract |
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for an optical processor. Polymerizable compounds in a specific composition containing photo-reactive materials, optically polar materials, and optical materials which can be cured with actinic radiation to form polymeric compositions, are provided. The resultant polymeric compositions are capable of forming complex optical interconnecting network structures. The optical networks may also be placed on a rotatable microdisk, thereby increasing the number of functions able to be carried out with the present invention. Also, the rotatable microdisks may be stacked upon each other, increasing the number of functions of the invention still further. |
