Optical Bistability and the Digital Optical Computer

Abstract

Electrons are well suited for switching operations as they occur in a logic processor. But electrons are not so easy to guide from one point to another point. On that score, photons are more suitable. Recently, photons became amendable also for logic processing. Hence, the stage is set for the development of an all-optical digital computer.
