Lightwave technology is playing a major and expanding role, especially in       optical communications, based on the success of optical fibers, diode           lasers, and efficient detectors.  The research effort proposed here             concentrates on the most recent area of lightwave technology, namely all-       optical logic.  Based upon an area called nonlinear optics one light beam       is able to control another, sometimes much more rapidly than can be             accomplished with electronics.  Decision-making capability is thereby           added to the transformation and beam-direction capabilities of                  traditional linear optics.                                                                                                                                      The present effort is by one of the groups which has pioneered the use of       optics to do logic operations.  Such efforts it can be hoped will               eventually result in optical processing units which will rival some of          the electronic counterparts or processing units with functions uniquely         suited to optics.
