Large-Scale Optical Neural Networks Based on Photoelectric Multiplication

Recent success in deep neural networks has generated strong interest in hardware accelerators to improve speed and energy consumption. This paper presents a new type of photonic accelerator based on coherent detection that is scalable to large (N≳10^{6}) networks and can be operated at high (gigaher...
