Abstract :
The technology base of digital optical computing is briefly described. An electrooptical processor that utilizes the inherent parallelism of optical processing is shown and applied to matrix-matrix multiplication. Symbolic logic processing is examined. Discrete linear transformations using optical processors are described.
