Recent advances in optical technology for digital computation are examined in reviews and reports. Consideration is given to direct and associative optical computing, optical AI and optical expert systems, optical/electronic logic and D/A systems, and optical interconnects. Topics discussed include symbolic substitution using ZnS interference filters, binary logic by spatial filtering, a directed graph optical processor, computer-vision applications of associative networks, decomposition of digital switching functions, variable-accuracy optical matrix/vector processors, CMOS detector cells for holographic optical interconnects in microcircuits, and S/N simulations for small guided-wave optical networks.
