Abstract :
The incoherent optical neuron (ION) subtracts inhibitory inputs from excitatory inputs optically by utilizing separate device responses. Those factors that affect the operation of the ION are discussed, including nonlinearity of the inhibitory element, input noise, device noise, system noise and crosstalk. A computer simulation of these effects is performed on a version of S.A. Ellias and S. Grossberg´s (1975) on-center off-surround competitive neural network.<>
