The Multiply and Fourier transform Unit: A Micro-Scale Optical Processor

Optalysys Ltd has developed a patented chip-scale Fourier-optical system in which the encoding and recovery of digital information is performed in silicon photonics while retaining the powerful free-space optical Fourier transform operation…

Optical Convolutional Neural Networks - White Paper

In this paper, we present an optical hardware accelerator that combines silicon photonics and free-space optics, leveraging the use of the optical Fourier transform within several CNN architectures.

The hardware presented is a proof of concept, demonstrating that this technology can be applied to artificial intelligence problems with a large efficiency boost with respect to canonical methods…
