What are Optical Computers?

An optical computer is a computer that uses light pulses instead of electronic signals. These light pulse signals can use infrared or visible light. Because current can heat a computer, one of the benefits of using light pulses is that it can reduce the computer's heat generation without sacrificing its computing power. Excessive heat can damage your computer. Once optical computers become popular, they can reach ten times the speed of today's computers.
