Abstract :
We observe the optical methods of analog-to-digital conversion, matrix multiplication, pick-up of the information about the temperature of physical objects and other operations, which based on the use of controlled waveguide ring microresonators. The structural diagrams of the devices realizing these operations are presented. The results of calculation, which permit to optimize the structure and basic characteristics of such devices as well as estimate their limit parameters, are given
