Demonstration of WDM-Enabled Ultralow-Energy Photonic Edge Computing

We present experimental demonstrations of ultra-low power edge computing enabled by wavelength division multiplexed optical links and time-integrating optical receivers. Initial experimentation demonstrations show less than or similar to 10 fJ of optical energy per MAC. (C) 2022 The Author(s)
