Reversible Nonlinear Interface Optical Computing
Rahmatollah Golshan, Jatinder S. Bedi · Optical Engineering · 1989
An active research area in optical computing is finding new optical devices to implement Boolean functions used in conventional computers. Reversible nonlinear interface devices have a picosecond response time and hence produce a very fast half-adder circuit. These devices can be used in the implementation of an optical CPU.
