Bq. Wang et al., IMPLEMENTATION OF A SIMPLE OPTICAL-THRESHOLD OPERATION WITH THE USE OF THE PROM DEVICE AND ITS APPLICATION, Microwave and optical technology letters, 11(6), 1996, pp. 332-335
A simple optical threshold operation is proposed. It is implemented wi
th the use of the PROM device, because of the photoconductivity and th
e Pockels effect of the BSO crystal. Applications in optical logic and
morphology are proposed also, and a simple optical experiment is used
for demonstration. It is shown that the simple optical threshold oper
ation is useful in the implementation of an all optical morphological
image processor. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
