The possibility of synthesis of ultra-fast universal optical digital-to-analog converter (DAC) providing conversion of digital information into analog information in giga- and terahertz ranges, including in digital systems based on N-digit logic, is considered. The functional diagram of the optical DAC containing technologically well-developed optical elements is given, the principle of operation is described in detail. The possibility of implementing this DAC with the speed potentially possible for optical data processing circuits is shown.
