Digital all-optical parallel computing is an important research direction and spans conventional devices and convergent nano-optics deployments. Optical busbased interconnects provide interesting aspects such as relative information communication speed-up or slowdown between optical signals. This aspect is harnessed in the newly proposed All-Optical Linear Array with a Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus System (OLARPBS) model. However, the physical realization of such communication interconnects needs to be considered. This paper considers spatial layouts of processing elements along with the optical bus light paths that are necessary to realize the corresponding interconnection requirements. A metric in terms of the degree of required physical constraint is developed to characterize the variety of possible solutions. Simple algorithms that determine spatial layouts are given. It is shown that certain communication interconnection structures have associated intrinsic topologies.

“…switching is an essential technology for transparent fiber optic networks and for all forms of optical signal processing as the optical interconnections and optical integrated circuits is immune to electromagnetic interference, and free from electrical short circuits. In a pursuit to probe into cutting-edge research areas, the development of different ultra-fast alloptical switches has received considerable interest in recent years all over the world for future optical information processing [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. As photon is the ultimate unit of information with unmatched speed and with data package in a signal of zero mass, the techniques of computing with light may provide a way out of the limitations of computational speed and complexity inherent in electronics computing.…”

. Introduction:Science and Technology is providing people all over the world with much better ways of communicating than ever before, and the winds of change have whipped up the desire to exchange more of everything from messages to movies. The field of computation and signal processing is growing day by day [ -]. In last three to four decades, the philosophy, science and technical prospects enriched the scientific communities a lot. Massive parallelism, speed of operation, increased spatial density attracts in many ways the scientists, researchers and technologists. Very Large Scale Integration VLSI technology has revolutionized the electronics industry and established the th century as the computer age. But, VLSI technology is approaching its fundamental limits in the sub-micron miniaturization process. Therefore an alternative technological solution to the problem of high speed information processing is needed, and unless we gear our thoughts toward a totally different pathway, we will not be able to further improve our information processing performance for the future. Conservative and reversible logic gates are widely known to be compatible with revolutionary computing paradigms. At the same time the Multi-valued logic MVL is also positioned as a coming generation technology that can execute arithmetic functions faster and with less interconnect than binary logic [ -].In order to overcome the electronic bottlenecks and fully exploit the advantages of optics, it is necessary to move towards networks, where the transmitted data will remain exclusively in all optical domains without optical electrical optical OEO conversions. Ultra high-speed optical network is developing rapidly as growing capacity demand in telecommunication system is increasing. In these networks, it is desired to carry out switching, routing and processing in optical domain to avoid bottlenecks of optoelectronic conversions. The dream of photonics is to have a completely all-optical technology. All-optical
