Abstract :
As a general purpose system in optical computing,optical vector-matrix multiplier (OVMM) can be applied in a variety of fields. After recalling Goodmanpsilas classic principle of OVMM we proposed a new method taking advantage of liquid crystal array, which can solve the flaws of the former. Here we explain in details the principle of this new method and use our new developed ternary logic optical processor as the equipment to realize it. By experiments the correctness and feasibility of this method are verified. At last the advantages are discussed and the future study work is planned.
