Abstract
Principles for optical digital data processing based on photon echo phenomenon in resonant media are considered. The various schemes of optical processors realization with the pixel structure and of holographic type based on using the digital multiplication by the analog convolution algorithm is suggested. Methods of optical data flow control of digital informational on the basis of photon echo phenomenon are discussed. Interconnections' switching schemes in a sequential in time and parallel in space codes are suggested.
