G06EOPTICAL COMPUTING DEVICES; COMPUTING DEVICES USING OTHER RADIATIONS WITH SIMILAR PROPERTIESoptical logic elements per se G02F3/00; digital storage using optical elements G11C13/04This subclass covers all devices in which at least one computing function is performed by optical means.If other aspects, for example mechanical, fluid pressure or electrical computing, are of interest, classification is also made in the relevant subclass for such aspects. G06E1/00 G06E1/00Devices for processing exclusively digital data G06E1/02operating upon the order or content of the data handled G06E1/04for performing computations using exclusively denominational number representation, e.g. using binary, ternary, decimal representation G06E1/045Matrix or vector computation G06E1/06for performing computations using a digital non-denominational number representation, i.e. number representation without radixusing combinations of denominational and non-denominational number representations G06E1/065using residue arithmetic G06E3/00Devices not provided for in group G06E1/00, e.g. for processing analogue or hybrid data G06E3/001Analogue devices in which mathematical operations are carried out with the aid of optical or electro-optical elements optical elements per se G02B; devices consisting of a plurality of solid state components, including light sensitive semiconductor components, formed in or on a common substrate H01L27/14; electro-, magneto- or acousto-optics, non-linear optics G02F1/00; graph reading G06K11/00 G06E3/003forming integrals of products, e.g. Fourier integrals, Laplace integrals, correlation integrals; for analysis or synthesis of functions using orthogonal functions G06E3/005using electro-optical or opto-electronic means G06E3/006Interconnection networks, e.g. for shuffling G06E3/008Matrix or vector computation
