High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An optical computer (also called a photonic computer) is a device that uses the photons of visible light or infrared (IR) beams, rather than electric current, to perform digital computations. An electric current creates heat in computer systems. As the processing speed increases, so does the amount of electricity required; this extra heat is extremely damaging to the hardware. Light, however, creates insignificant amounts of heat, regardless of how much is used. Thus, the development of more powerful processing systems becomes possible. By applying…mehr

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An optical computer (also called a photonic computer) is a device that uses the photons of visible light or infrared (IR) beams, rather than electric current, to perform digital computations. An electric current creates heat in computer systems. As the processing speed increases, so does the amount of electricity required; this extra heat is extremely damaging to the hardware. Light, however, creates insignificant amounts of heat, regardless of how much is used. Thus, the development of more powerful processing systems becomes possible. By applying some of the advantages of visible and/or IR networks at the device and component scale, a computer might someday be developed that can perform operations significantly faster than a conventional electronic computer.
