"Optical parallel computing is a recent interest of the scientists and technologists of the globe. 'All optical parallel computer' is a sweet dream of all of them, because this computer can extend very high speed computation, minimum volume, high intelligence, and lots of many other advantages, which are not at all possible in superfast electronic computer. This book is giving some light on this area with its future prospects. This book covers the following items on optical computation. (1) What is optical computation and what are the advantages of an all optical computer in the field of computation, (2) review of research works of scientific community in this area, (3) some new concepts on all optical/opto-electronic logic/arithmetic/algebraic processors exploiting the inherent advantages of optics, (4) symbolic substitution for implementing few all optical operations in data processing, (5) residue arithmetic in optics and few proposals of developing optical data processors with residue arithmetic, (6) optical multivalued logic (mainly tristate logic and its application for implementation of few logical operations, and finally (7) few basic proposals on all optical expert operations. Readers will also get a sizeable list of references of scientists and technologists in this field of optical computation. They will also find a brief sketch of parallelism in optics." (jacket).
