hey.....
i am hina doing bs(ee)...
i want more data on "future optical computers"...
those optical computer which are not yet developed but under process.....

Today, optical technology is being promoted for use in storage area networks (SANs), parallel processing, optical switches, all-optical data networks, holographic storage devices and biometric devices at airports to track potential terrorists.

Tomorrow
1.nonblocking optical packet switching, a new technology capable of forwarding almost 8 billion packets per second.(This is perhaps 1,000 times the capacity of conventional packet switching)

2.simple optical computer that is more than a billion times faster than today's supercomputers.
3.ultrafast data storage devices that uses laser pulse (electro-optical hybrids, a combination of conventional and optical computing)
