Abstract

A promising candidate for logic arrays in optical cellular logic image processors is the symmetric self-electrooptic effect device (S-SEED). We describe the operation of an 8 × 16 array of S-SEEDs as programmable logic gates operating using the time sequential scheme described by Lentine et al.1 with a space multiplexed beam combination technique.2 The programmable gate operates at an effective rate >10 kHz which is limited by the speed of the computer drive, and >80% of the gates operate correctly simultaneously. The beam combination scheme used in this system requires that several different image planes be focussed onto the SEED array.
