N2 - We present a design for a micro optical architecture for solving instances of NP-hard problems, using nano-technology. The architecture is using pre-processed masks to block some of the light propagating through them. We demonstrate how such a device could be used to solve instances of Hamiltonian-cycle and the Permanent problems.
