OPTICAL ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18098339 titled 'OPTICAL ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an optical artificial neural network system.

  • The system includes a first spatial light modulator that modulates incident light to generate a first light with a specific optical image.
  • A concave mirror reflects the first light to generate a second light with a different optical image.
  • A first polarized beam splitter is positioned between the first spatial light modulator and the concave mirror.
  • A first quarter wave-plate is placed between the first spatial light modulator and the first polarized beam splitter.
  • A second spatial light modulator modulates the second light reflected by the first polarized beam splitter to generate a third light with another optical image.
  • A beam splitter is positioned between the first spatial light modulator and the first polarized beam splitter.
  • An imaging device is included in the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is an optical artificial neural network system which includes a first spatial light modulator modulating an incident light to generate a first light having a first optical image, a concave mirror reflecting the first light to generate a second light having a second optical image, a first polarized beam splitter disposed between the first spatial light modulator and the concave mirror, a first quarter wave-plate disposed between the first spatial light modulator and the first polarized beam splitter, a second spatial light modulator generating a third light by modulating the second light reflected by the first polarized beam splitter so as to have a third optical image, a beam splitter disposed between the first spatial light modulator and the first polarized beam splitter, and an imaging device.
