In an optical computing device in which a plurality of microcells provided in a matrix form are disposed so as to be stacked on each other, reduced are variations which occur in cell size and position due to dehydration and shrinkage. An optical computing device (10) includes a plurality of light diffraction layers (L1, L2, L3) stacked on each other. In the optical computing device (10), each light diffraction layer (L1, L2, L3) includes a plurality of microcells (Cijk) which have refractive indexes set individually and which are provided in a matrix form. The plurality of light diffraction layers (L1, L2, L3) are contained in a dried gel (11).
摘要:
An optical neural network stores optical transmission weightings as angularly and spatially distributed gratings within a phase conjugate mirror (PCM) (38), the PCM (38) using a stimulated process to generate a phase conjugated return beam without separate external pump mechanisms. An error signal is generated in response to differences between the actual and a desired output optical pattern, and is used to adjust the PCM gratings toward the desired output. One or more intermediate image planes may be employed along with the input and output planes. The input and intermediate planes, as well as the error signal, are preferably displayed on the surface of a spatial light modulator (28). The output optical signal is transduced into an electrical format for training the neural network, with the error signal also generated electrically. A significant increase in neuron and interconnection capacity is realized, without cross-talk between neurons, compared to prior optical neural networks.

The present invention relates to an optical device (101, 201, 305). The present invention may be implemented as optical artificial neurons. The optical device comprises an optically transmissive light-receiving device (102) which may be a photodiode, an optically transmissive light-emitting device (104, 304) such as a light-emitting diode, an optically transmissive processor (103) comprising a memory storage device (106). The light-emitting device and the light-receiving device are electrically connected to the processor which is configured to control the light-emitting device to emit an optical signal (307, 313) based on a first optical signal received by the light-receiving device. The optical device comprises an address which is transmitted with the optical signal. The address of may be recognized by the processor when processing a received optical signal and is used by the processor to determine to control the light-emitting device to emit an optical signal or not.
