Parallel Subtraction using LCLV and Lenslet Array in Optical Neural Networks

Basing on the method of wavelength and beam deviation encoding for implementing a bipolar optical neural networks, the subtraction between the positive and negative stimulation of a neuron can be converted to the addition by the normal and in verse states of a liquid crystal light value (LCLV). The summation can be performed by using a lenslet to focus the two light spots which represent the two stimulations. The pre liminary experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the presental method.
