Optical Computing: M - Rubaiyat Bin Sattar 14/9/2010
Optical computing was the hot research topic in 1980’s but for the
limitation of materials it was not implemented. Engineers are still
trying to implement a complete optical computer .Today's Optical
computer known as Electro-optical-hybrid computer in which data is
received by electron and transferred by Optics .

→ In a holographic memory
device, a laser beam is split in
two, and the two resulting
beams interact in a crystal
medium to store a holographic
recreation of a page of data.

Scientist discovered an inch-long Amazonian beetle could hold the key to next-
generation optical computer chips. They found significant path for making today’s light
computer after researching on naturally possessed of a molecular arrangement.

Optics has been used in computing for a number of years but for the
limitation of materials we have been seeing Electro-optical-hybrid
.Optical technology applied in today’s CD-Rom driver and their
relatives, laser printer, scanner and in mouse. It is not so far when we
will see total optical computer .
