Optical Computing Experiment (IMAGE)
Caption
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Optical Sciences Division’s fiber optic computing experiment of encoded data on an optical carrier using the modulator, left, orange housing, and coupled into a 500 meter backscattering fiber, upper-right, gray aluminum housing, which applies a series of random convolutions on the input data. The result of the convolutions is recorded on a high-speed photodetector seen in lower-right, black housing.
