Frequency-multiplexed logic circuit based on a coherent optical neural network.

We propose an adaptive logic circuit whose function can be controlled by optical carrier frequency modulation. The circuit learns the desired functions by adjusting the delay time at a spatial light modulator with a complex-valued Hebbian learning rule. After the learning, the circuit can switch its function all at once. A high degree of mechanical stability is achieved by spatial phase-difference coding. Two orthogonal phase components are detected in parallel spatially. Experiments demonstrate that the system works as an AND circuit at a certain frequency and as an XOR at another. The proposal will enhance the design of optical plastic cell architectures.
