Abstract
We present an optimized Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) with phase change materials for photonic neural networks (PNNs). With 0.2 dB loss, -38 dB crosstalk, and length of 52 micrometer, the designed MZI significantly improves the scalability and accuracy of PNNs under loss and crosstalk.
