Summary:
A spatial expanse of bistable system can support traveling wavefront which is an interface between different stable states (ex. ``on'' and ``off'' states). We investigate a two-dimensional optical bistable device (2DOBD) and its application to maze exploration. We have reported that such a device can present not only extension of ``on'' state, but also reduction mode in which ``on'' state area retreats from dead-end path. In this paper we report controllability of wavefront propagation properties by light intensity, which is an important advantage of this device for realization of high functionality in natural computing.
