Stanford researchers have developed a high throughput, low energy consumption, optical method for real-time, image differentiation (image sharpening) using a photonic crystal slab.
Machine learning models currently require extensive computational resources and this demand is growing rapidly with new models and applications being introduced.
Engineers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have developed an efficient, scalable, in-situ method to train, configure and tune complex photonic circuits for artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Researchers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have invented a thermal extraction device that is designed to enhance power emission from thermal radiators up to 10x compared to conventional structures.
