A real time optical neural networks using programmable LCTV spatial light modulator

Abstract

A new memory modle of optical neural networks called the reflexive associative memory is implemented in real-time using programmable liquid crystal television (LCTV) in our experiment. In this model the vectors are stored in a memory matrix in the form of vector pairs. Not only a full vector prestored in neural networks can be recalled from a partial information of the vector, but the other vector of the prestored vector pair can also be recalled.
