- Large optical nonlinearity of nanoantennas coupled to an epsilon-near-zero material (2018, background): “Thus, all-optical active devices tend to have large footprints, which limits the integration density to many orders of magnitude smaller than what can be achieved in a state-of-the-art electronic integrated circuits [1, 2].”
- Large-Scale Optical Neural Networks based on Photoelectric Multiplication (2018, methodology): “Finally, the present scheme avoids the need for low-power nonlinear optics that is a major stumbling block in all-optical logic [31]: since the output is electrical, the dot product Aijxj can be computed at extremely low power (sub-fJ/MAC) using standard non-resonant components (photodiodes) that ar”
- Broadcast and Weight: An Integrated Network For Scalable Photonic Spike Processing (2014, background): “The cost, energy , and complexity typically involved in O/E/O are due not, in fact, to the physical transduction itself but instead to the electronic receiver stages (i.e., amplification, sampling, and quantization ) that normally follow detection in fiber communication links [40].”
- Controlling light with light using coherent metadevices: all-optical transistor, summator and invertor (2014, unknown): “, this does not imply that increasing one input signal will proportionally increase one or both of the output signals; thus,it is generally the case that: [ 𝜂 𝐸� 𝜂 𝐸� ]≠[ 𝑺�� 𝑺�� 𝑺�� 𝑺�� ][ 𝜂 𝐸� 𝐸� ] (3) Thus, in a 4-port device as described by Eq. (1), the relationship between one input ”
