Compact and robust incoherent holographic correlator using a surface-emitting laser-diode array.
A compact and robust holographic correlator using a vertical-cavity surface-emitting microlaser diode array is described. The system is based on the unique coherence property of the surface-emitting microlaser array: temporally highly coherent and spatially incoherent. The performance of the system is experimentally demonstrated, and the application of the system for neural network implementations is proposed.
