Abstract

Optical computing is the use of optical systems to perform numerical computations or process information. It is the science of making computing work better using optics and related technologies. Optical computers are computers of the future that use of light particles called photons. They come as a solution of miniaturizing problem. They are the most feasible devices that can replace electronic computers with impressive speeds. This paper provides a brief introduction to optical computing.
