All-optical, ultrafast energy-efficient ReLU function for nanophotonic neural networks

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We introduce and experimentally demonstrate an all-optical ReLU nonlinear activation function based on the strong quadratic nonlinearity of lithium niobate nanophotonic waveguides and achieve a record-breaking energy-time product per activation of 1.2 × 1027 J · s to overcome the nonlinearity bottleneck in photonic neural networks.
