This SLM application occurs in the optical signal processing of multipath delays from radar or other communication sources, as has been demonstrated with various electro-optic processing architectures1.2,3. These multipath delays signal must be estimated and suppressed to ensure optimal system performance. In the architecture presented here, the SLM must accurately select and weight various delays of a signal that propagate across an acousto-optic modulator. This paper reports the relative performance characteristics of the following spatial light modulators used in this application: an AO deflector used as an SLM (AOSLM), a liquid crystal television display (LCD) and a magneto-optic SLM (MOSLM).","PeriodicalId":188204,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Light Modulators and Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115493288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, there are two types of learning processes that are used in the human brain; supervised and unsupervised learnings [1]. In a supervised learning process, the artificial neural network has to be taught when to learn and when to process the information. Nevertheless, if an unknown object is presented to the artificial neural network during the processing, the network may provide an error output result. On the other hand, for unsupervised learning (also called self-learning), the students are learning by themselves, in which based on simple learning rules and their past experiences. Kohonon's model is one of the simplest self-organizing algorithms[1], which is capable of performing statistical pattern recognition and classification, and it can be modified for optical neural network implementation. A compact optical neural network of 64 neurons using liquid crystal televisions is used for unsupervised learning process[2].","PeriodicalId":188204,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Light Modulators and Applications","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115904079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attempts at solutions to many difficult problems in the past resulted in a rapid increase in complexity of software. With the continuing decline in the cost of hardware, attention has turned toward mapping such problems on massively parallel machines. For example, knowledge base searching can be done by pursuing many paths in parallel rather than following a complex algorithm that attempts to guide a serial search in an optimum fashion. The result is that many more computations are performed when following the parallel approach, with most not leading to a solution; however, the correct solution will most often be arrived at much sooner.","PeriodicalId":188204,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Light Modulators and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121957124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
