As research into photonic computing progresses, scientists seek to optimize the performance of optical computing devices by making purpose-specific changes to their design. A team led by Bo Wu and Shaojie Liu at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China designed and tested a kind of Mach-Zehnder interferometer mesh that is more efficient at performing real-valued matrix-vector multiplication.

Their research was published Sep. 19 in Intelligent Computing.
Conventional Mach-Zehnder interferometer mesh has many advantages, including large bandwidth and high …
