Photorefractive nonlinear optics and optical computing
Optical Engineering, 1989This paper describes various nonlinear optical phenomena in photorefractive media and selected applications in optical computing. These phenomena include optical phase conjugation, two- and four-wave mixing, and real-time holography. The applications include image amplification and subtraction, logic and matrix operations, and optical interconnection.

Energy complexity of optical computations
Proceedings of the Second IEEE Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing 1990, 2002The paper provides lower bounds on the energy consumption and demonstrates an energy-time trade-off in optical computations. All the lower bounds are shown to have the matching upper bounds for a transitive function-shifting. Since the energy consumption in an optical transmission is a nonlinear function of the distance, a new setof techniques was ...

Reversible optical computing circuits
Optics Letters, 1987Planar optical implementations of binary adders are developed using a three-port nonlinear interface device as the single computing primitive. The device is bit-conserving and both optically and logically reversible.

Optical Bistability and the Digital Optical Computer
Topical Meeting on Optical Bistability (OB3), 1985Electrons are well suited for switching operations as they occur in a logic processor. But electrons are not so easy to guide from one point to another point. On that score, photons are more suitable. Recently, photons became amendable also for logic processing. Hence, the stage is set for the development of an all-optical digital computer.

Optical Bistability, Optical Computing, Spintronics and Quantum Computing
2012In this chapter we present some of the properties of optical bistability, an effect that is not limited to semiconductors, and some of the concepts of digital optical computing. This concept is based on optical nonlinearities and bi- or multistability. We also explain why digital optical computing did not make its way into broad commercial use. Then we
