1. An optical delay processor comprising:

  • a plurality of input means each receiving an identical portion of a modulated optical beam, the optical beam having a predetermined wavelength;

    a succession of optical delay pathways each coupled to one of said input means, wherein the distance each beam traverses through each delay pathway varies as a function of said predetermined wavelength of the optical beam, and wherein said distance for any one of said predetermined wavelengths creates a predetermined delay pattern across said succession of optical delay pathways.
