Optical neural networks have been attracting attention as low-power and low-latency hardware. In particular, optical neural networks using integrated optical unitary transducers have attracted much attention. Still, conventional integrated optical unitary transducers are sensitive to errors, making it difficult to scale them up. In this study, we show that it is possible to realize robust hardware by using optical unitary converters based on a different method called multi-plane light conversion.
