Abstract
From a simple model of photo-induced isomerization, we propose guiding principles to look for new nonlinear optical materials which could be used as elements of neuro—optical network. These materials have several important properties: the step-function response of transmitted light intensity against the input optical intensity, and optical learning and teaching abilities using these materials as optical neurons.Certain kinds of polydiacetylene crystals are also pointed out as good candidates for neuro-optical elements.
