Abstract

The storage capacity for neural interconnections in photorefractive crystals and the use of the dynamic nature of the photorefractive effect to train these interconnections are discussed. We describe an optical neural architecture which uses the characteristics of the photorefractive response to implement error driven learning and describe a modified perceptron algorithm which we have used to train this optical system.
