title: Optical thresholding and maximum operations.
abstract: Self-oscillations in nonlinear optical four-wave mixing and resonators are considered. Some unique properties of these oscillations can be employed for implementing parallel optical thresholding, comparing, and maximum operations. Both theoretical and experimental results that are obtained by utilizing the photorefractive nonlinearity are presented and discussed.
