VCSEL Optical Neural Networks for High-throughput AI Training

We demonstrate large-scale VCSEL-based computing for convolution neural networks with spatial fanout and high clockrates. We achieved 9 parallel channels with >5 bits precision at 100-million shot-per-second, with in-system training over 93.4% accuracy.

Abstract

We demonstrate large-scale VCSEL-based computing for convolution neural networks with spatial fanout and high clockrates. We achieved 9 parallel channels with >5 bits precision at 100-million shot-per-second, with in-system training over 93.4% accuracy.
