“Optical Computing using Nonlinear Optical Propagation in Multi-Mode Fibers”

I will describe how a multimode fiber can function as a computational element when high energy pulses propagate though it. The nonlinear transformation of spatial information inserted at one end of the fiber yields a representation at the other end of the fiber that proves effective in the context of machine learning. We have implemented several learning tasks using this approach and obtained competitive accuracy compared with state-of-the-art deep neural networks but at a dramatically
better power consumption and/or speed.
