About a year ago (I think) there was a smattering of speculation
about optical computers in this newsgroup. Well, the following just
caught my eye. Don't ask me for more details, you now know as much about
it as I do. Quoting from "Digital Design", February 1986 (Copyright 1986
by Morgan-Grampian Publishing Company):
OPTICAL PROCESSOR MODEL -- A functional model of an optical
processor will debut at March's Hanover Fair in West Germany.
Offering potential picosecond speeds for parallel architectures,
the model results from work carried out by the European Joint
Optical Bistability project.
