Abstract :
A photonic neural processor implemented in NMOS/CCD integrated circuit technology is described. The processor performs outer-product processing utilizing optical input of the synaptic weights and electrical input of the state vector, or, visa versa. The performance of the 32-neuron, 1024-synapse processor is presented
