A MZI-based optical neural network for image classification

In recent years, with the expansion of information, artificial intelligence technology has been developed and used in various fields. Among them, optical neural network provides a new type of special neural network accelerator chip solution, which has the advantages of high speed, high bandwidth, and low power consumption. In this paper, we construct an optical neural network based on Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The experimental results on the image classification of MNIST handwritten digitals show that the optical neural network has high accuracy, fast convergence and good scalability.
