| Abstract | Non-technical description The field of optical engineering has reached such maturity that light scattering through a carefully design medium can replicate almost any function that a digital computer can perform, blurring the boundary between computational imaging and physical optics. However, nonlinearity – the seed of complexity in weather patterns, ecosystems, the human brain, and of course artificial neural networks – represents a key missing ingredient in all-optical image processing hardwar |
