Our team member, Petar Atanasijević, participated in the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC 2026), one of the leading international events in optical communications and photonics.
During the conference, he delivered an oral presentation titled “Multi-output all-optical nonlinear element for Photonic Neural Networks with super-efficient activation reshaping.” In this work, he presented a novel all-optical nonlinear element for photonic neural networks, capable of providing multiple adaptive activation functions with non-increasing, non-decreasing, and non-monotonic trends.
These results represent an important step toward more flexible and energy-efficient photonic neural network hardware, further supporting the development of advanced neuromorphic and AI-oriented photonic systems.
