This demonstration eventually created a growing interest in making photonic logic componentry utilizing [[light interference]].
Light interference is very frequency sensitive. This means that a narrow band of photon frequencies can be used to represent one bit in a binary number. Many of today's electronic computers use 64 or 128 bit-position logic. The visible [[light spectrum]] alone could enable 35 billion [[bit]] positions.
Recent research shows promise in temporarily trapping light in [[crystal]]s. Trapping light is seen as a necessary element in replacing electron storage for computer logic.
