Abstract
Radially nonlinear neurons are introduced, and back propagation learning for multilayer networks of these simple hidden units is derived and simulated. The nonlinear transformation performed by a hidden layer of radial units can be represented as a simple multiplication of the summed net input to each neuron by a single value which is only dependent on the total input to the hidden layer. This allows a simple optical implementation, in which a single modulator/detector is able to act as an entire hidden layer by multiplexing the neuron net inputs and processed outputs.
