OPTICAL COMPUTING

SEMINAR ON OPTICAL COMPUTING : With the growth of computer technology the need for high performance computers (HPC) has increased considerably. The optics used in the calculation for a number of years, but the focus has been and continues to be linked computer parts for communication, or more intrinsic in units be an application or an optical component (optical character recognition, etc.) optical computing was a hot area of research in 1980. But the work tapered off due to material limitations that have prevented you from getting small optochips too much is too cheap and as laboratory curiosities. Now, the optical computer are back with the progress of self-assembly of organic conducting polymers promises super-reduced all optical chips. optical computing technology are usually develops in two directions. One approach is to build computers with the same structure as the current computers per day, but the use of optical hybrid is electro optics. Another approach is to generate an entirely new kind of computer that can perform all functional operation of the optical mode. In recent years a number of entities could eventually lead us to the true optical computers have already been made. These include, optical logic gates, optical switches, optical links and Optical Memory. Current trends in optical computing emphasis on communication, for For example, the use of optical interconnects in free space as a potential solution to Delete experience "bottlenecks" with electronic architectures. Optical Technology is one of the most promising and could lead to new computers applications due to accelerated processing speeds and better quality connectivity and greater bandwidth.
