Based on the characteristics of ZnSe optical bistable etalons, we propose an all-optical parallel method which can add multiple input laser beams and perform the multiplication of two multibit binary numbers. By changing the mounted angles of nonlinear etalon devices, more complicated functions can be obtained. With the use of these functional systems, the possibility of solving linear equations mainly based on iterative methods is then described. Some simple experimental results are also presented.
