Abstract
An opto-electronic adder has been built: it implements a parallel addi tion algorithm using the modified signed digit representation of numbe rs. The designed architecture is based on an original elementary proce ssor, which performs truth tables and makes the use of today's opto-el ectronic components possible. Connection tasks are devoted to passive optics and nonlinear ones to electronics. The adder works at 1 MHz clo ck rate.
