Abstract
This paper is concerned with the design of optical and optoelectronic circuits. In particular new designs for an exclusive-or circuit, set–reset trigger flip-flop, and a programmable logic array (PLA) are proposed. The PLA utilizes optical properties and performs computation on binary images using optical parallel logic devices, lenses, etc. This work is then extended to the design of erasable programmable logic devices.
