Method of implementation of optoelectronic multiparametric signal processing systems based on multivalued-logic principles

An architecture is proposed for a specialised optoelectronic multivalued logic processor based on the Allen–Givone algebra. The processor is intended for multiparametric processing of data arriving from a large number of sensors or for tackling spectral analysis tasks. The processor architecture makes it possible to obtain an approximate general estimate of the state of an object being diagnosed on a p-level scale. Optoelectronic systems are proposed for MAXIMUM, MINIMUM, and LITERAL logic gates, based on optical-frequency encoding of logic levels. Corresponding logic gates form a complete set of logic functions in the Allen–Givone algebra.
