Optical neural networks (ONNs), implemented on an array of cascaded Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs), have recently been proposed as a possible replacement for conventional deep learning hardware. They potentially offer higher energy efficiency and computational speed when compared to their electronic counterparts. By utilizing tunable phase shifters, one can adjust the output each MZI enabl...

in this study, deinkability of old newspaper by conventional method and the effect of washing, flotation and combined washing/flotation processes were investigated on optical and superficial properties of the produced papers. the results from measuring of the optical and superficial properties indicated that using chemical treatment time of 20 minute and one stage washing resulted the papers wi...
