Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An optical arithmetic-logical unit ["ALU"] processes one or more combined input signals, which result from a combination of multiple elementary input signals, each of which comprises at least one polarization component. One of the combined input signals is a synchronization signal having a phase and an amplitude. At least one laser has an output and is configured to synchronize with the synchronization signal, wherein the synchronization of the laser with the synchronization input signal generates an output signal, which preserves the phase of the synchronization signal but normalizes its amplitude. Generation of the output signal by said normalization of the synchronization signal provides the ALU with a capability of performing one or more arithmetic-logical operations on the one or more combined input signals.
