Computing On A Digital Optical Computer Using Regular Interconnections

In this paper we consider the computation of combinational boolean equations on a regularly interconnected digital optical computer. First, we provide a new technique by, which any boolean circuit can be mapped on to this architecture maintaining a favorable space-time product. Then we present a systematic method of realizing higher level boolean functions in terms of lower level functions.
