Parallel fault-tolerant programming of an arbitrary feedforward photonic network
Sunil Pai, Ian A. D. Williamson, Tyler W. Hughes +4
Reconfigurable photonic mesh networks of tunable beamsplitter nodes can linearly transform -dimensional vectors representing input modal amplitudes of light for applications suc…
Forward-Mode Differentiation of Maxwell's Equations
Tyler W Hughes, Ian A D Williamson, Momchil Minkov +1
We present a previously unexplored forward-mode differentiation method for Maxwell's equations, with applications in the field of sensitivity analysis. This approach yields exact g…
Wave Physics as an Analog Recurrent Neural Network
Tyler W. Hughes, Ian A. D. Williamson, Momchil Minkov +1
Analog machine learning hardware platforms promise to be faster and more energy-efficient than their digital counterparts. Wave physics, as found in acoustics and optics, is a natu…
Reprogrammable Electro-Optic Nonlinear Activation Functions for Optical Neural Networks
Ian A. D. Williamson, Tyler W. Hughes, Momchil Minkov +3
We introduce an electro-optic hardware platform for nonlinear activation functions in optical neural networks. The optical-to-optical nonlinearity operates by converting a small po…
Reconfigurable Photonic Circuit for Controlled Power Delivery to Laser-Driven Accelerators on a Chip
Tyler W. Hughes, R. Joel England, Shanhui Fan
Dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) represents a promising approach to building miniature particle accelerators on a chip. However, similar to conventional RF accelerators, an auto…
