Optical computing

ID: optical-computing

Optical computing is a field of computing that uses light (photons) rather than electrical signals (electrons) to perform computations and transmit data. This approach leverages the properties of light, such as its speed and bandwidth, to potentially surpass the limitations of traditional electronic computing. Key aspects of optical computing include: 1. **Data Processing**: Optical computers use optical components, such as lasers, beam splitters, and optical waveguides, to manipulate light for processing information.
