Abstract:
This paper presents a microring-based weight function for optical analog computing applications, achieving 9.3 bits accuracy and 11.3 bits precision. A proportional-integrative-derivative (PID) controller monitoring the microring’s through and drop ports performs real-time self-calibration for temperature perturbations within the photonic circuit.
