Diffractive networks light the way for optical image classification
E-Mail IMAGE: (Left) A D2NN ensemble, constituting 14 individual diffractive networks that have different types of filters placed between the object plane and the first diffractive layer. The ensemble class score comes... view more Credit: by Md Sadman Sakib Rahman, Jingxi Li, Deniz Mengu, Yair Rivenson and Aydogan Ozcan Recently there has been a reemergence of interest in optical computing platforms for artificial intelligence-related applications. Optics/photonics is ideally suited for realizing neural network models because of the high speed, large bandwidth and high interconne...
