Abstract
In this paper, we present an all-optical version of the OPALS, called P-OPALS, as an instance of a pure optical computing system to clarify its potential capabilities. Before discussing the P-OPALS, basic conce pts of OAL and the OPALS are explained. On the P-OPALS, utilized techn iques and an experimental system are presented along with experimental results. Finally, processing capability of the P-OPALS is estimated i n terms of data number and processing capacity.
