LightPro: A Linear Photonic Processor with Full Programmability
Amin Shafiee, Zahra Ghanaatian, Benoit Charbonnier +1
In this paper, we propose a novel fully programmable linear photonic processor, which we call LightPro, with improved scalability, performance, and footprint. At the heart of Light…
LuxNAS: A Coherent Photonic Neural Network Powered by Neural Architecture Search
Amin Shafiee, Febin Sunny, Sudeep Pasricha +1
We demonstrate a novel coherent photonic neural network using tunable phase-change-material-based couplers and neural architecture search. Compared to the MZI-based Clements networ…
Enabling Scalable Photonic Tensor Cores with Polarization-Domain Photonic Computing
Amin Shafiee, Linhong Chen, Sudeep Pasricha +2
We present a silicon-photonic tensor core using 2D ferroelectric materials to enable wavelength- and polarization-domain computing. Results, based on experimentally characterized m…
OPIMA: Optical Processing-In-Memory for Convolutional Neural Network Acceleration
Febin Sunny, Amin Shafiee, Abhishek Balasubramaniam +2
Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have spotlighted the pressing need for computing architectures that bridge the gap between memory bandwidth and processing power. The adven…
