title: Bistability and nonlinearity in optically addressed ferroelectric liquid-crystal spatial light modulators: applications to neurocomputing.
abstract: We report the characteristics of a truly bistable optically addressed ferroelectric liquid-crystal spatial light modulator that is capable of storing binary images. We show that, in addition to this bistability, a nonlinear response and gray scales can be observed under certain operating conditions. We then report on how these capabilities can be used in implementing optical neurocomputing architectures.
