Abstract
Optical computing is not yet a common reality, but optical system architectures and optoelectronic devices are progressing fast enough to make the question of optics in specialized two-dimensional processors meaningful. This communication the trhee major aspects of optical computing as seen from the viewpoint of parallel processing: optical functions, optoelectronic devices, parallel architecture approaches.
