  • Photonic neural network
    Patent number: 12340301
    Abstract: A photonic neural network device may include a planar waveguide; a layer having a changeable refractive index adjacent to the planar waveguide; and a plurality of electrodes. Each electrode may be electrically coupled to the layer having the changeable refractive index at a corresponding location of the layer having the changeable refractive index. Each electrode may be configured to apply a corresponding, configurable voltage to the corresponding location to affect a refractive index of the corresponding location of the layer having the changeable refractive index to induce an amplitude modulation or a phase modulation of a light waveform propagating through the photonic neural network device to configure a corresponding neuron of the photonic neural network device in order to perform a computation.
