Dynamically Reconfigurable Optical Skyrmions Enabled by a Silicon Microring Optical Phased Array for Robust Free-Space Communication
Zili Cai, Tian Zhang, Qi Chen +3
Optical skyrmions offer a robust vectorial information degree of freedom for free-space communication, but practical deployment requires a compact platform capable of active topolo…
Efficient training for large-scale optical neural network using an evolutionary strategy and attention pruning
Zhiwei Yang, Zeyang Fan, Yihang Lai +4
MZI-based block optical neural networks (BONNs), which can achieve large-scale network models, have increasingly drawn attentions. However, the robustness of the current training a…
RoNo: A novel way in generating reconfigurable on-chip nonlinear activation functions
Zili Cai, Tian Zhang, Jian Dai +2
Due to the limitations of Moore's Law and the increasing demand of computing, optical neural network (ONNs) are gradually coming to the stage as an alternative to electrical neural…
Artificial Cnoidal Wave Breathers in Optical Microresonators
Zhonghan Wu, Anni Liu, Yiran Gao +2
Breathers are localized structures that undergo a periodic oscillation in their duration and amplitude. Optical microresonators, benefiting from their high quality factor, provide…
