Abstract: A fluxonic processor includes processes photonic synapse events and includes a transmitter that receives neuron signal and produces output photons; a neuron that receives a dendrite signal and produces the neuron signal from the dendrite signal; a dendrite that receives a synapse signal, and produces the dendrite signal from the synapse signal, the dendrite including: a dendritic receiver loop; a dendritic Josephson isolator; and a dendritic integration loop; and the synapse in electrical communication with the dendrite and that receives an input photon and produces the synapse signal from the input photon, the synapse including: a synaptic receiver; a synaptic Josephson isolator in communication with the synaptic receiver; and a synaptic integration loop that receives the synaptic receiver fluxons and produces the synapse signal from the synaptic receiver fluxons.

Abstract: An optical modulator is disclosed that includes an optical resonator structure. The optical resonator structure includes at least one non-linear portion, the at least one non-linear portion comprising at least one radial junction region. The at least one radial junction region is formed between at least first and second materials, respectively, having different electronic conductivity characteristics. A principal axis of the at least one radial junction region is oriented along a radius of curvature of the at least one non-linear portion. The optical modulator includes an optical waveguide that is coupled to the at least one non-linear portion of the optical resonator structure.
