Abstract
A neural-processing type optical WDM demultiplexer consisting of a multimode guide and an electrical neural network (NN) has been proposed.1 It features simple optical components, easy alignment, and modifiable characteristics because its neural parameters are electrically controllable. This paper reports the demultiplexing results at 150 Mb/s obtained by using the new analog neural network LSIs (ANN-LSIs) and the multimode planar waveguide.
