Optical Eratosthenes' sieve for large prime numbers
We report the first experimental demonstration of a prime number sieve via linear optics. The prime numbers distribution is encoded in the intensity zeros of the far field produced by a spatial light modulator hologram, which comprises a set of diffraction gratings whose periods correspond to all pr...
