Optical neural components using a waveguide architecture in which optical signals are multiplexed on a waveguide between nodes

摘要

An optical neural component using a waveguide architecture in which optical signals are multiplexed on a waveguide between nodes is provided. An optical neural component is configured to multiplex an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, an inter-node waveguide formed on a substrate, and an input optical signal on the inter-node waveguide. A multiplexer, a transmitting waveguide configured to receive an optical signal emitted from the optical transmitter, and to transmit the received optical signal to the inter-node waveguide via the multiplexer; A mirror configured to partially reflect an optical signal propagating on the intermediate waveguide, configured to receive a reflected optical signal provided by the mirror, and to transmit the reflected optical signal to an optical receiver. A receiving waveguide, and a filter configured to apply weights to the reflected optical signal. The transmitting waveguide and the receiving waveguide are one in which the core of one of the intersecting waveguides passes through the core or cladding of the other waveguide and one of the transmitting waveguides, and One of the receiving waveguides is formed on the substrate so as to intersect with one of the inter-node waveguides.
