Optical vector-matrix multiplier for carrying out a vector-matrix multiplication comprises input waveguides, output waveguides, matrix waveguides and modulators coupled to each matrix waveguide

摘要

Optical vector-matrix multiplier comprises input waveguides (1), output waveguides (3), matrix waveguides (2) and modulators coupled to each matrix waveguide. Preferred Features: Each input waveguide is coupled with a controlled light source which produces light energy of defined intensity into the input waveguides. The waveguides are planar waveguides which are integrated together with the modulators in an optical chip.
