Abstract

In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in artificial neural networks, and several optical implementations have been investigated [1]. Neural networks are intrinsically parallel computers, and optics can provide the massive parallelism and interconnectivity they require. The key components of neural networks are the synapses between the neurons, which are the locus of signal processing, learning, and memory. Bacteriorhodopsin (BR) has photochromic properties which will enable one to construct functionally complete synapses in the form of a thin-film optically-addressed spatial light modulator. Here we present measurements of properties of bacteriorhodopsin relevant to synaptic functions.
细菌视紫红质光电突触
近年来,人们对人工神经网络重新产生了兴趣,并研究了几种光学实现。神经网络本质上是并行计算机,而光学可以提供它们所需的大量并行性和互联性。神经网络的关键组成部分是神经元之间的突触,它是信号处理、学习和记忆的所在地。细菌视紫红质(BR)具有光致变色特性,这将使人们能够以薄膜光学定位空间光调制器的形式构建功能完整的突触。在这里,我们提出了测量特性的细菌视紫红质相关的突触功能。
