title: Optical implementation of binary symmetric logic functions.
abstract: Optical implementations of binary multiple-variable symmetric logic functions are proposed. By using a triangular array of lossless beam splitters together with optical on-off switches, an optical binary symmetric logic module (OBSLM) is experimentally implemented. The applications of the OBSLM to optical digital, symbolic, and neural computing are discussed.
