Optics and Symbolic Computing

Abstract

Optical and optoelectronic technologies have been developing at a very rapid pace over the past decade. This growth has been largely fueled by the fiber optic telecommunications, novel (flat panel) optical scanning and recording systems. These technological advances have also lead to research in insertion of optics into computing systems. The role of optics can be in providing interconnections between electronic subsystems, providing largely capacity data storage or leading to a complete system capable of implementing the necessary operations. The exact role of optics depends on the specific domain of the computing system (signal/image processing, numerical computing or symbolic manipulations) and the nature of application in addresses.
