Robust Zero-Change Self-Configuration of the Rectangular Mesh
Ryan Hamerly, Saumil Bandyopadhyay, Dirk Englund · 2021
We propose an algorithm to self-configure the rectangular mesh [Clements et al., Optica, vol. 3, p. 1460, 2016] using only external sources and detectors. This procedure is robust to hardware imperfections and leads to significant accuracy improvements for optical neural networks on realistic hardware.
