Abstract

Integrated photonic computing promises revolutionary strides in processing power, energy efficiency, and speed, propelling us into an era of unprecedented computational capabilities. By harnessing the innate properties of light, such as high-speed propagation, inherent parallel processing capabilities, and the ability to carry vast amounts of information, photonic computing transcends the limitations of traditional electronic architectures. Furthermore, silicon photonic neural networks hold promise to transform artificial intelligence by enabling faster training and inference with significantly reduced power consumption. This potential leap in efficiency could revolutionize data centers, high-performance computing, and edge computing, minimizing environmental impact while expanding the boundaries of computational possibilities. The latest research on our silicon photonic platform for next-generation optical compute accelerators will be presented and discussed.
