Light Field Neural Network
We introduce an optical neural network system made by off-the-shelf components. Compared to electronic systems, the proposed system can execute advanced inference tasks on the speed of light and much lower power consumption. By using see-through screens and optical components, it can support a programmable optical neural network, see-through display, and incoherent light processor. Various application prototypes are discussed as extensions of basic layers including optical computation, light field display, augmented reality, and passive light/image processing.
