Computing by Means of Physics-Based Optical Neural Networks

We report recent research on computing with biology-based neural network models by means of physics-based opto-electronic hardware. New technology provides opportunities for very-high-speed computation and uncovers problems obstructing the wide-spread use of this new capability. The Computational Modeling community may be able to offer solutions to these cross-boundary research problems.This material is based on work supported by the United States National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0725867
