The many cores are shaped and spaced inside a single fibre to enhance specific interactions.
“The fibre enables to perform several types of functions which are essential to neural-networks computation,” company CEO and co-founder Eyal Cohen told Electronics Weekly. “Out of many possibilities, these functions can be set and optimised to specific parameters using external amplification light that is injected into the fibre along with signal light [at a different wavelength].”
In the concept, external opto-electronics pulses data into the fibre at high speed, and reads the result. Pulses are delivered at 500MHz per channel, limited by the need to maintain synchronisation.
