US Patent Issued to Soreq Nuclear Research Center on Dec. 2 for "Method and apparatus for performing neural networks computation using optical elements" (Israeli Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,488,230, issued on Dec. 2, was assigned to Soreq Nuclear Research Center (Nahal Soreq, Israel).

"Method and apparatus for performing neural networks computation using optical elements" was invented by Bruno Sfez (Yavne, Israel).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for performing a nonlinear optical operation includes pumping a laser with an optical signal at a pump wavelength and pumping the laser with an electronic or optical bias that acts as a hyperparameter, filtering out optical output at the pump wavelength so that only light at a lasing wavelength exits the laser, and collecting light exiting the laser for further optical process...
