US Patent Issued to The George Washington University on Aug. 25 for "Massively parallel amplitude-only optical processing system and methods for machine learning" (Virginia, Florida Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,718,323, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to The George Washington University (Washington).

"Massively parallel amplitude-only optical processing system and methods for machine learning" was invented by Mario Miscuglio (Arlington, Va.) and Volker Sorger (Gainesville, Fla.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Amplitude-only Fourier optical processors is capable of processing large-scale matrices in a single time-step and microsecond-short latency. The processors may have a 4f optical system architecture and may employ reprogrammable high-resolution amplitude-only spatial modulators, such as Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD). In addition, methods...
