Abstract :
We demonstrate complementary (+/−) WDM weighted addition in a bank of silicon microrings using a balanced detection technique. Weighted addition that is tunable and complementary is a key function for multivariate analog signal processing and could enable scalable analog networking approaches with silicon photonic technologies.
