Photonic Random-Access Memories (P-RAM) are an essential component for the on-chip non-von Neumann photonic computing by eliminating optoelectronic conversion losses in data links. Emerging Phase-Change Materials (PCMs) have been showed multilevel memory capability, but demonstrations still yield relatively high optical loss and require cumbersome WRITE-ERASE approaches increasing power consumption system package challenges. Here we demonstrate a multistate electrically programmed low-loss...
Solving mathematical equations faster and more efficiently has been a Holy Grail for centuries scientists engineers across all disciplines. While electronic digital circuits have revolutionized equation solving in recent decades, it become apparent that performance gains from brute-force approaches of compute-solvers are quickly saturating over time. Instead, paradigms leverage the universes' natural tendency to minimize system's free energy, such as annealers or Ising Machines, being sought...
Photonic neural networks benefit from both the high channel capacity-and wave nature of light acting as an effective weighting mechanism through linear optics.The neuron's activation function, however, requires nonlinearity which can be achieved either nonlinear optics or electro-optics.Nonlinear optics, while potentially faster, is challenging at low optical power.With electro-optics, a photodiode integrating weighted products photonic perceptron paired directly to modulator, creates...
Liquid-crystal microcavity lasers have attracted considerable attention because of their extraordinary tunability and sensitive response to external stimuli, they operate generally within a specific phase.

Abstract The retention-of-state functionality provided by memories is fundamental to any Turing machine and neural network, hence critical for information system today. While emerging optical learning accelerators photonic neuromorphic computing paradigms provide promising signal processing performance, the lack of a photon-photon force in universe makes storing challenging. Fortunately, phase change materials such missing memristive nonvolatile function via their reconfigurable crystalline...

Digital-to-analog converters (DAC) are indispensable functional units in signal processing instrumentation and wide-band telecommunication links for both civil military applications. Since photonic systems capable of high data throughput low latency, an increasingly found system limitation stems from the required domain-crossing such as digital-to-analog, electronic-to-optical. A DAC implementation, contrast, enables a seamless conversion with respect to energy efficiency short delay, often...
Optical ultrasonic probes, exemplified by Fabry–Perot cavities on optical fibers, have small sizes, high sensitivity, and pure characteristics, making them highly attractive in high-resolution ultrasonic/photoacoustic imaging, especially near-field or endoscopic scenarios.
