Nonlinear optical data processing and filtering - A feasibility study
Abstract
The feasibility of nonlinear optical data processing with photochromic materials is analyzed. It is shown that a host of useful computations may be achieved by incorporating nonlinear optical elements (transparencies) into conventional optical data processing channels.
