Abstract

A serial, stored program, optical computer has been designed [1] and implemented [2] using LiNbO₃ electro-optic directional coupler switches. Detector, amplifier and driver electronics at each electro-optic switch adapt it to optical control, so that all inter-switch signals are optical. The demonstrated machine uses discrete components, and glass fiber forms both interconnection and delay line memory. This paper will project the properties of an integrated version of this computer.
