Optical Computing,
Abstract
The International Conference on Optical Computing in Research and Development was held. The fact that this field is in an early state of evolution was brought out by the speculative and preliminary nature of many papers. Hybrid systems combining digital or analog electronics and optical devices were emphasized in several papers and in a roundtable discussion. A factor slowing the development of such systems is that people from different disciplines are required to integrate their ideas. The main subjects discussed in the report are: laser graphic devices, holograms, hybrid image processing, and biological applications. In addition some critical discussion of the general field of optical computing as well as some specific areas is included. (Author)
