  • Publication number: 20220188688
    Abstract: A training node may include a first processor coupled to a first memory, and a second processor coupled to a second memory. The training node may further include a synthetic gradient processing unit (SGPU) coupled to a third memory, the first processor and the second processor. A portion of an electronic model may be disposed in the first memory, the second memory, and the third memory. The SGPU may generate a synthetic gradient signal based on an error data signal from the first processor and the portion of the electronic model. The synthetic gradient signal may update the electronic model during a training operation for the electronic model.

  • Patent number: 11313667
    Abstract: The present description relates to a stabilized interferometric system comprising: a light source (210) for emitting an initial beam of coherent light; a spatial light modulator (220) configured to receive at least a first part of said initial beam and input data (203) and configured to emit a spatially modulated beam resulting from a spatial modulation of a parameter of said first part of said initial beam based on said input data; a scattering medium (230) configured to receive said spatially modulated beam; a detection unit (240) configured to acquire an interference pattern (IN0) resulting from the interferences between randomly scattered optical paths taken by the spatially modulated beam through the scattering material; a control unit (250) configured to vary the frequency of the laser source in order to at least partially compensate a change in said interference pattern resulting from a change in at least one environmental parameter.

  • Patent number: 11137289
    Abstract: A system may include an optical source and an adjustable spatial light modulator coupled to the optical source. The system may further include a medium coupled to the adjustable spatial light modulator. The system may further include a beam splitter coupled to the optical source and the adjustable spatial light modulator. The beam splitter may generate a first optical signal and a second optical signal using the optical source. The system may further include an optical detector coupled to the beam splitter and the medium. The optical detector may obtain a combined optical signal including a resulting optical signal and the second optical signal. The resulting optical signal may be produced by transmitting the first optical signal through the medium at a predetermined spatial light modulation using the adjustable spatial light modulator.

  • Publication number: 20210041219
    Abstract: According to one aspect, the present description relates to a stabilized interferometric system comprising a light source (210) for emitting an initial beam (B0) of coherent light and a spatial light modulator (220) configured to receive at least a first part of said initial beam and input data (203), and configured to emit a spatially modulated beam (B0m) resulting from a spatial modulation of a parameter of said first part of said initial beam based on said input data. The stabilized interferometric system further comprises a scattering medium (230) configured to receive said spatially modulated beam and a detection unit (240) configured to acquire an interference pattern (IN0) in a first detection plane (241) at an output of said scattering material, wherein said interference pattern results from the interferences between randomly scattered optical paths taken by the spatially modulated beam through the scattering material.

  • Publication number: 20150036021
    Abstract: A method for estimating an optical, electromagnetic or acoustic image having at least the successive steps of: scattering an incident optical, electromagnetic or acoustic signal using a multiple scattering medium corresponding to a known transmission matrix stored into a memory of an imaging system; measuring the scattered signal using a detector array and storing the measurements into the memory of the imaging system; and determining an estimated image having a number of image elements that is greater than the number of measurements, at full spatial bandwidth. The estimated image is determined from the measurements and the transmission matrix using a sparsity-promoting algorithm.
