Abstract
An important device for optoelectronic neural networks is a two-dimens ional nonlinear thresholding element that is optically written and opt ically read. The liquid-crystal light valve is the only commercially a vailable device that is suitable for this application. Three different types of valve are analyzed with respect to their suitability for two different types of neural network.
