Abstract

The methods for the optical signal conversion based on the optoelectronic system "relief grating - liquid crystal" and liquid-crystal (LC) cells using S- or twist-effect have been presented. New schemes forming the basis for realization of bistable LC devices, optoelectronic logic elements and systems of electrically-coupled LC elements intended for the production of laser oscillations at the constant input intensity have been proposed. It has been demonstrated that with the use of varying parameters of optoelectronic feedback one is enabled to set up both regular and chaotic intensity oscillations, to control the frequency and form of these oscillations, to realize functional changes of logic elements. The developed LC systems have been introduced into the educational practice of students mastering modem information techniques.
