Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of electro-optic modulators, optical computing has become a potential excellent candidate for various computing tasks. New structures and devices for optical computing are emerging one after another, but the computing method is still the optical vector-matrix multiplication method that was decades ago. Here, we propose a novel optical computing paradigm that can parallelly implement matrix-matrix multiplication operation, which can directly replace existing vector-matrix multiplication, greatly improving computational efficiency. This preprint presents theoretical analysis, and we will supplement experimental results and conclusions in the future.
