Abstract:
A photonic neural component includes optical transmitters, optical receivers, inter-node waveguides formed on a board, transmitting waveguides configured to receive optical signals emitted from the optical transmitters and transmit the received optical signals to the inter-node waveguides, 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 12):
A photonic neural component comprising:\n inter-node waveguides configured to propagate optical signals; first waveguides optically coupled to the inter-node waveguides, at least one first waveguide optically intersecting at least one inter-node waveguide; mirrors configured to produce reflected optical signals by at least partially reflecting the optical signals propagated by the inter-node waveguides; second waveguides optically coupled to the inter-node waveguides, at least one second waveguide optically intersecting at least one inter-node waveguide, each second waveguide being configured to propagate the reflected optical signal; and optical filters configured to apply weightings to the reflected optical signals; output waveguides optically coupled to the inter-node waveguides and configured to output the reflected optical signals, where at least one output waveguide optically intersects at least one inter-node waveguide; and input waveguides optically coupled to the inter-node waveguides and configured to introduce an optical signal from an external source to the inter-node waveguides, where at least one input waveguide optically intersects at least one inter-node waveguide.
