It was shown recently [1] that optics allows, in principle, up to 1019 bits/cm2s data transmission rates with no fundamental restrictions in the information channel. This is due to the optical degrees of freedom which are of a 3D-nature. In this paper we discuss how to utilise these optical degrees of freedom with respect to the well-known advantages of the digital approach to general purpose information processing.
