Nonlinear thresholding characteristic for optical computing of optically addressable GaAs/FLC-SLM

Abstract

In a wide variety of optical parallel processings, spatial light modu1ators (SLMs) (1), especially optically addressable SLMs(OASLMs), are versatile devices. SLMs have been used as an optical encoder and latch memory for optical computing(2) and synaptic weighting mask for optical neural network. (1)
