Fig. 3

a An experimental setup for parallel multiplication by a GST cell. b Flattened pixel data of an RGB image encoded in amplitudes of four different wavelength channels by four VOAs. c Brightness scaling by performing light transceiving of all encoded pixels through a GST cell with varied switching contrast ∆T1(2)/Tbase, followed by image plotting for visualization with labelled SD (σ). (The original image showing the Clarendon Building in the University of Oxford was photographed by the authors.) df Examples of measured results for brightness scaling (scaling factor = 2) versus the exact results (d), histograms of normalized error fitted with Gaussian distributions (e), normalized SD and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), which is defined as (TTbase)/SD(T) and SD(T) is the standard deviation of the detected and normalized transmission mixing with photodetection noise, versus switching contrasts (∆T2/Tbase) of a GST cell (f).
