We developed a simplistic physics-based model of an all-optical neural network that mimics the encoder part of an autoencoder neural network for image compression. Our approach relies on the generation of a MATLAB-based model for both data compression and decompression and utilizes MATLAB's built-in autoencoder networks in combination with simple propagation of optical fields between layers constituting phase elements via Fourier transform. We optimize the phase elements using the particle swarm optimization technique and using our model, we demonstrate a compression ratio of 25% for 2828-pixel input images containing numeric digits from 0 to 9.
