Abstract:Integrated photonic neural networks (PNNs) usually adopt traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) or multilayer perceptron (MLP) network models. These models consist of horizontally cascaded deep layer architectures interleaved by nonlinear activation functions. However, there are practical challenges for on-chip realizing such architectures, including the optical loss and the lack of efficient on-chip optical activation nonlinearity. Here, we propose a vertically hierarchical photonic neural network lev… Show more
