Abstract

Many researchers have suggested that the parallelism of optics might be exploited for symbolic processing applications.^1-8 Optics can perform functions needed for symbolic computing such as searching (using correlations) and high bandwidth data transfer (imaging). It is, however, an open question as to the applicability of optics to an overall system which does general and nontrivial symbolic computing. This paper examines how optics could be used within the framework of implementing currently specified computer languages.
