An optical binary data processor which utilizes a plurality of light beams (or other waves, such as sound waves) which diffract at two or more apertures and which interfere such that the resulting pattern of illumination may be read to yield a particular logic operation. The optical data processor is capable of performing conventional binary logic operations on anywhere from two to N optical inputs, and multiple processors may be cascaded to perform any level of combinational logic.
