Stanford Nears All-Optical Artificial Neural Network

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers have shown that it is possible to train artificial neural networks directly on an optical chip. The research demonstrates that an optical circuit can perform a critical function of an electronics-based artificial neural network, and that it could lead to less expensive, faster, and more energy-efficient ways to perform tasks such as speech or image recognition. Researchers have shown a neural network can be trained using an optical circuit (blue rectangle). In the full network, there would be several of these linked together. The laser inputs (green) encode information that...Read full article
