Abstract
An integrated optical circuit for an optical neural network is provided. The optical circuit is configured to process a plurality of phase-encoded optical input signals and to provide a phase-encoded optical output signal depending on the phase-encoded optical input signals. The phase-encoded optical output signal emulates a neuron functionality with respect to the plurality of phase-encoded optical input signals. Such an embodied optical circuit uses the phase to encode information in the optical domain. A related method and a related design structure are further provided.
