Abstract:We propose a photonic processing unit for high-density analog computation using intensity-modulation-based microringmodulators (IM-MRMs). The output signal at the fixed resonance wavelength is directly intensity modulated by changing theextinction ratio (ER) of the IM-MRM. Thanks to the intensity-modulated approach, the proposed photonic processing unit isless sensitive to the inter-channel crosstalk. Simulation results reveal that the proposed design offers a maximum of 17-foldincrease in wavelength channel d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
