Networks with a large degree of connectivity are at the heart of every neural network concept. While neural networks have been implemented in various hardware systems, the efficient realization of such a networks still remains illusive. We demonstrate the implementation of an all-optical network scheme based on holographic coupling and induce complex spatio-temporal transients with Gigahertz bandwidth. Our scheme illustrate the potential of such all-optical systems for future neural network implementations.
