Phys. Rev. E 62, 4010–4013 (2000)Synchronization of laser oscillators, associative memory, and optical neurocomputingReceived 31 January 2000; revised 23 May 2000; published in the issue dated September 2000 We investigate here possible neurocomputational features of networks of laser oscillators. Our approach is similar to classical optical neurocomputing where artificial neurons are lasers and connection matrices are holographic media. However, we consider oscillatory neurons communicating via phases rather than amplitudes. Memorized patterns correspond to synchronized states where the neurons oscillate with equal frequencies and with prescribed phase relations. The mechanism of recognition is related to phase locking. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
