The present conference on optical computing discusses advancements in the fields of optical materials and devices, spatial light modulators (SLMs), optical computing systems, optical neural computing and interconnections, optical phenomena, optical computing for image processing, and optical interconnections. Attention is given to optically addressed SLMs, an optically addressed liquid crystal light valve, implementation of optical ternary logic with a twin-stripe laser diode, holographic symbol substitution with a joint transform correlator, acoustooptic digital multiplication by analog convolution, reconfigurable optical interconnection via photorefractive holograms, and the optical implementation of a Hopfield associative memory. Also discussed are an optoelectronic computer architecture for binary image algebra, a shift/rotation/scale-invariant optical associative memory, applications of bipolar morphology, an integrated optical array illuminator, an adaptive optical pattern classifier, and an integrated optical array illuminator.
