Note:
This project aims to develop an all-optical (artificial) neural network (AONN) testbed and related software toolkit for expediting and accelerating advancements in optical artificial intelligence, including a programmable multi-layer AONN hardware with automatic machine learning capability and an open-source software package for public education. The AONN testbed builds upon free-space Fourier optics and ultra-low light level nonlinear optics, which can efficiently recreate with photons functionalities similar to those that are performed in the human brain.
