A surface-normal photodetector as nonlinear activation function in diffractive optical neural networks

Optical neural networks (ONNs) enable high speed, parallel, and energy efficient processing compared to their conventional digital electronic counterparts. However, realizing large scale ONN systems is an open problem. Among various integrated and non-integrated ONNs, free-space diffractive ONNs ben...
