Abstract
We propose performing space-variant optical logic operations in a spac e-invariant optical system by selectively assigning encoding states th at are operation dependent. With this method, encoders using liquid-cr ystal cells and liquid-crystal light valves to perform space-variant e ncoding for all 16 Boolean functions are designed. Multiple-instructio n-multiple-data processing can then be realized in optical logic syste ms.
