Mn. Belov et Ea. Manykin, PRINCIPLES OF THE DESIGN OF AN OPTICAL ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY-BASED ON COHERENT 4-WAVER MIXING, Telecommunications & radio engineering, 48(4), 1993, pp. 109-114
A new approach to the construction of associative memory systems in op
tics based on delayed four-wave mixing is proposed. The close analogy
between the physical properties of this nonlinear optical medium and t
he features of learning and recognition in neural-net models with non-
instantaneous interconnections is demonstrated.
