We are excited to announce a new publication in Scientific Reports:
“Sub-milliwatt threshold power and tunable-bias all-optical nonlinear activation function using vanadium dioxide for wavelength-division multiplexing photonic neural networks”
Authored by Jorge Parra, Juan Navarro-Arenas, and Pablo Sanchis from the Nanophotonics Technology Center (NTC), a PHOENIX project partner.
- Key innovation: The study proposes a tunable all-optical nonlinear activation function based on vanadium dioxide (VO₂) integrated into a SiN/BTO waveguide for wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) photonic networks.
- Impact: The results highlight that a hybrid VO₂/SiN/BTO platform could play a key role in advancing high-performance photonic neural networks, paving the way for energy-efficient AI hardware.
