Interestingly, we found a whole issue dedicated to optical computing—the topic of this month’s second feature article, “Optical Computing: Past and Future” on page 32. Even more surprising, two of the articles in the April 1986 issue were written by this month’s feature authors, Ravi Athale and Demetri Psaltis!
