Local variable logic operation using birefringent optical elements.
In this paper we present an optical method for local variable logic operation using birefringence and its extended version for local variable neighborhood operation. Some experimental results verify the validity of the method and show its capabilities. As an example, we consider a simplified case of the method and propose the architecture for a space-variant system suitable for implementing the new method.
