Abstract

A method of creating all-optical devices for logic information processing is presented. The mechanism is based on virtual photon interaction in quantum field description, or dipole moment interaction in classical description. The device consists of two optical information bits channels and one optical bits channel of logic commands like AND, NOT, OR. A variety of logic operations can be achieved on one optical setup by polarization change of the logic bits which determines the logic commands. I present another application for the method as an information channels selector.
