With the rapid development of Internet Things, how to efficiently store, transmit, and process massive amounts data has become a major challenge now. Optical neural networks based on nonvolatile phase change materials (PCMs) have breakthrough point due their zero static power consumption, low thermal crosstalk, large-scale, high efficiency. However, current photonic devices cannot meet multilevel requirements in neuromorphic computing limited storage capacity. Here, new way for increasing capacity is paved from perspective modulation crystallization kinetics PCMs. A more progressive transition amorphous crystalline states achieved through grain-refinement phenomenon induced by nitrogen (N) element doping Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), giving precise access multibit states. By integrating N-doped (N-GST) with waveguide, high-capacity device enabling over 7 bits (∼222 levels) first time. The increased nearly times compared state-of-the-art (∼32 levels). An optical convolutional network successfully established MINIST handwritten digit recognition task mapping synapse weight multiple levels, accuracy up 96.5% achieved. Our work provides strategy integrated demonstrates enormous application potential field large-scale networks.

Abstract Multi-level programmable photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and optical metasurfaces have gained widespread attention in many fields, such as neuromorphic photonics, communications, quantum information. In this paper, we propose pixelated Si 3 N 4 PICs with record-high 20-level intermediate states at 785 nm wavelength. Such flexibility phase or amplitude modulation is achieved by a Sb 2 S matrix, the footprint of whose elements can be small 1.2 μ m, limited only diffraction limit an in-house developed pulsed laser writing system. We believe our work lays foundation for laser-writing ultra-high-level (20 levels even more) systems based on change materials, which could catalyze diverse applications biosensing, computing, reconfigurable metasurfaces.

Integrated photonic neural networks (PNNs) are at the forefront of AI computing, leveraging light’s unique properties, such as large bandwidth, low latency, and potentially power consumption. Nevertheless, integrated optical components inherently sensitive to external disturbances, thermal interference, various device imperfections, which detrimentally affect computing accuracy reliability. Conventional solutions use complicated control methods stabilize devices chip, result in high hardware complexity impractical for large-scale PNNs. To address this, we propose a training approach enable control-free, accurate, energy-efficient without adding complexity.
