<title>Optical technologies for computational intelligence</title>

Abstract

Optics has a number of deep analogies with main principles of Computational Intelligence. We can see strong analogies between basic optical phenomena, used in Fourier-holography, and mathematical foundations of Fuzzy Set Theory. Also, analogies between optical holography technique and principles of Neural Networks Paradigm can be seen. Progress in new holographic recording media with self-developing property leads to Evolutionary Computations holographic realization. Based on these analogies we review holographic techniques from two points of view: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy relations.
