Scaling Photonic Tensor Cores with Unary and Homodyne Designs
arXiv:2604.14664
Abstract
We analyze five photonic microring tensor core designs with a common optical power model. The results show that circuit ordering, unary encoding, and homodyne accumulation shape scalability, with the last two offering the strongest path to higher parallelism.
