Electronic Feedback Control of Mach–Zehnder Interferometers for Scalable Optical Computing
摘要
We present an electronic technique to control photonic processors based on Mach–Zehnder interferometers. By leveraging transparent photodetectors and local feedback loops, the working point of each interferometer is automatically configured. The concurrency of two control loops per device enables the computation of 2 × 2 vector–matrix multiplications in the analog domain, enabling scalable optical computing.
