Abstract

In this Paper, Properties of non linear optical materials have been examined with a view to use them for integrated optical wiring due to presence of Quantum well envelope state transition (QWEST) effect in them. A method for creating an all optical computer with 5–10 ps logic gates and gigabytes memories have also been outlined.
