Abstract:
A photonic neural component including optical transmitters, optical receivers, inter-node waveguides formed on a board, multiplexers configured to multiplex input optical signals onto the inter-node waveguides, transmitting waveguides configured to receive optical signals emitted from the optical transmitters and transmit the received optical signals to the inter-node waveguides via the multiplexers, mirrors to partially reflect optical signals propagating on the inter-node waveguides, receiving waveguides configured to receive reflected optical signals produced by the mirrors and transmit the reflected optical signals to the optical receivers, and filters configured to apply weights to the reflected optical signals. The transmitting waveguides and receiving waveguides are formed on the board such that one of the transmitting waveguides and one of the receiving waveguides crosses one of the inter-node waveguides with a core of one of the crossing waveguides passing through a core or clad of the other.

Claim (Index 25):
The photonic neural component of  claim 24 , wherein:\n the plurality of inter-node waveguides includes a second ring having two or more inter-node waveguides arranged as concentric loops; the plurality of optical transmitters includes a second inner optical transmitter group having two or more optical transmitters disposed inside the second ring; the plurality of optical receivers includes a second optical receiver group having two or more optical receivers disposed inside the second ring and a second outer optical receiver group having two or more optical receivers disposed outside the second ring; a plurality of mirrors includes a second mirror group, each mirror of the second mirror group configured to partially reflect an optical signal propagating on an inter-node waveguide of the second ring to produce a reflected optical signal of the second ring; the photonic neural component further comprises a plurality of second output waveguides formed on the board such that at least one second output waveguide crosses at least one inter-node waveguide of the second ring with a core of one crossing waveguide passing through a core or a clad of another crossing waveguide, each second output waveguide optically connected to an optical receiver of the second outer optical receiver group and configured to receive the reflected optical signal of the second ring produced by a mirror of the second mirror group and transmit the reflected optical signal of the second ring to the optical receiver; and the plurality of intra-node signal lines includes a plurality of inter-ring intra-node signal lines, each inter-ring intra-node signal line connected to an optical transmitter of the first outer optical receiver group and an optical receiver of the second outer optical receiver group and configured to receive an electrical signal representing a power of an optical signal received by the optical receiver and transmit the electrical signal to the optical transmitter, thereby connecting the optical receiver and the optical transmitter to form an input and an output of a neuron.
