Abstract
Operation results for all combinations of input optical signal values to be operated are previously determined and substantially parallel light beams reflecting the operation results for all combinations are generated. Selectors for selecting transmission area of the input light beams in accordance with digital information born by optical signals are arranged for the respective optical signals along the direction of propagation of the light beams. Through the logically cascade-connected selectors, an optical signal corresponding to a combination of current input optical signals is selected from the operation results for all combinations.
