  1. 6. Investigating the use of Semiconductor Nanowires for Neural Networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Alfredo Serafini; [2022]
    Keywords : FDTD method and simulation; optical broadcasting neural network; optical communication of nanowires; sub-wavelength absorption.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this work, we intend to employ nanowires for the realisation of an artificial neuron which can be used to design a neural network that will guide the new generation of non-von Neumann architectures such as Neuromorphic Computing. Possible applications are strongly related to Neuromorphic architectures and artificial intelligence, such as high-performance computers, robotics hardware and autonomous drones. READ MORE
