title: Space-variant optical logic operations based on operation-dependent encoding method.
abstract: We propose performing space-variant optical logic operations in a space-invariant optical system by selectively assigning encoding states that are operation dependent. With this method, encoders using liquid-crystal cells and liquid-crystal light valves to perform space-variant encoding for all 16 Boolean functions are designed. Multiple-instruction-multiple-data processing can then be realized in optical logic systems.
