Microring-Based Multi-Operand Optical Neurons with On-Chip Trainable Nonlinearity

We propose an optical neuron based on multi-operand microring resonators, featuring a compact footprint and high scalability with built-in tunable nonlinearity. Experimental results highlight its superior expressivity in machine learning tasks with exceptional hardware efficiency.
