Dejan Gvozdiฤ participated in the 19th Photonics Workshop, where he presented the paper โNonlinear carrier-photon dynamics in semiconductor-based activation units for all-optical neural networks.โ The abstract describes the work as a study of the physical mechanisms in active semiconductor devices that enable nonlinear activation functions for optical neural networks, with a focus on reconfigurable and energy-efficient all-optical implementations.
The presented results contribute to ongoing research on scalable photonic hardware for artificial intelligence and neuromorphic computing, highlighting the potential of semiconductor-based activation units to overcome key limitations of conventional opto-electro-optical approaches.
