Reduced sensitivity algorithm for optical processors using constraints and ridge regression.
Optical linear algebra processors that involve solutions of linear algebraic equations have significant potential in adaptive and inference machines. We present an algorithm that includes constraints on the accuracy of the processor and improves the accuracy of the results obtained from such analog processors. The constraint algorithm matches the problem to the accuracy of the processor. Calculation of the adaptive weights in a phased array radar is used as a case study. Simulation results prove the benefits advertised. The desensitization of the calculated weights to computational errors in the processor is quantified. Ridge regression isused to determine the parameter needed in the algorithm.
