Abstract
There has been increasing interest in optical processing because it is two-dimensional and massively parallel. One of the most important devices for optical parallel processing is the optically-addressed spatial light modulator. Providing logic and memory functions, it would be used to implement flexible processing. We have developed a ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator (FLC-SLM) with these kinds of functions and fast response.1 This paper describes the device and some of its uses in information processing.
