Neural Net Models And Optical Computing: A Brief Overview

A brief overview of background and developments in the emerging field of neural net models for optical computing is presented. At this early stage the field is offering a new and intellectually stimulating approach to signal processing that dove-tails with and compliments the capabilities of optics.
