4D Interconnect Experimental Development
Abstract
This report summarizes the work performed during a two-year program aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of constructing a 4-dimensional neural network based on the unique properties of spectral hole burning (SHB) materials. SHB materials were synthesized and excellent quality holograms were recorded and retrieved. Both wavelength and angle multiplexing were demonstrated with no apparent crosstalk. We assembled a demonstration holographic optical neural network and tested it as a bidirectional associative memory system. The results obtained clearly demonstrate the fundamental ability to fully connect two 2D planes of digital information. Expectations are that this architecture can be extended to capacities of 10(exp 12) interconnects or greater.... Neural network, Optical computing, Holographic storage, Optical interconnect.
