Abstract
A phase-conjugate Michelson interferometer using an internally self-pumped barium titanate crystal as reflectors has been constructed to perform parallel image subtraction, intensity inversion, and exclusive or logic operation. These operations are independent of the optical path differences and phase aberration.
