Solitonic Neural Networks: An Innovative Photonic Neural Network Based on Solitonic Interconnections

This book delves into optics and photonic materials, describing the development of an intelligent all-optical system capable of replicating the functional building blocks of the biological brain. Starting with an analysis of biological neuronal dynamics and traversing the state of the art of neuromorphic systems developed to date, the book arrives at a description of neural networks realized through spatial soliton technology.

After a brief introduction to the biology of neural networks (Cha...
