Abstract

We describe basic properties of particle-like light structures (diffractive autosolitons) in wide- aperture nonlinear interferometers irradiated by external coherent radiation. Basic principles of the discrete-analogous method are presented. They are based on autosolitons' features promising for high-performance and accurate processing of large arrays of information. The method is illustrated by results of computer simulations for schemes of multidigit optical full adder.
