Abstract
Recently optical computing techniques have been developed, and the feasibility of optical computers is discussed. We will describe optical implementations of cellular logic computers (CLCs) which are used for the digital electronic computation of two-dimensional logical neighborhood functions. Perhaps the most obvious application of such an optical computer is in pattern recognition as it pertains to image data processing.
