Abstract EN
Optical computing is a very interesting 60-year old field of research.
This paper gives a brief historical review of the life of optical computing from the early days until today.
Optical computing generated a lot of enthusiasm in the sixties with major breakthroughs opening a large number of perspectives.
The period between 1980 and 2000 could be called the golden age with numerous new technologies and innovating optical processors designed and constructed for real applications.
Today the field of optical computing is not ready to die, it has evolved and its results benefit to new research topics such as nanooptics, biophotonics, or communication systems.
