Multiplanar Dielectric Waveguides for Neural Communication
Jeff Chiles, Sonia Mary Buckley, Sae Woo Nam, Richard P. Mirin, Jeffrey M. Shainline · 2018
Neural computing requires dense, local communication and system-wide information integration. Light can achieve massive fanout at the chip and wafer scale and long-range communication with minimal delay. We present 3D integrated photonic routing networks based on amorphous silicon and silicon nitride which facilitate such communication.
