  • Optically programmable optoelectronic cellular neural network
    Patent number: 5864836
    Abstract: An optoelectronic cellular neural network, which can be programmed optically, in amorphous or polycrystalline silicon, which makes up a monolithic image processing system with optical input and output which can be programmed by optical signals. Its layered structure for both the upper and lower surfaces are occupied, without discontinuity, by photosensitive and photoemissive devices. The network basically consists of an input photosensitive layer, a processing layer, a photosensitive control layer and also an optical control mask.
