Abstract

Optical systems for implementing optical expert systems have been designed and simulated. Components of the system have been built and tested. The concept, optical system used, and types of Al problem that can be solved with the current system are described. The current research results are reviewed, and future plans are outlined. Results of other optical symbolic logic experiments are also presented. These experiments are based on the use of polarization to carry the information through the system.
