    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing an optical signal. An example system may include a source disposed on a substrate and capable of emitting the optical signal. A first waveguide is formed in the substrate to receive the optical signal. A first coupler is disposed on the substrate to receive a reflected portion of the optical signal. A second waveguide is formed in the substrate to receive the reflected portion from the first coupler. A second coupler is formed in the substrate to mix the optical signal and the reflected portion to form a mixed signal. Photodetectors are formed in the substrate to convert the mixed signal to an electrical signal. A processor is electrically coupled to the substrate and programmed to convert the electrical signal from a time domain to a frequency domain to determine a phase difference between the optical signal and the reflected portion.

    Abstract: A DPE memristor crossbar array system includes a plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays. Each of the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays includes a primary memristor crossbar array and a redundant memristor crossbar array. The redundant memristor crossbar array includes values that are mathematically related to values within the primary memristor crossbar array. In addition, the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays includes a block of shared analog circuits coupled to the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays. The block of shared analog circuits is to determine a dot product value of voltage values generated by at least one partitioned memristor crossbar array of the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays.

    Abstract: A memristor device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a memristor layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The memristor layer is formed of a metal oxide. The memristor layer includes a plurality of regions that extend between the first electrode and the second electrode. The plurality of regions of the memristor layer are created with different concentrations of oxygen before electrical operation, and, during electrical operation, a voltage-conductance characteristic of the memristor device is controlled based on the different concentrations of oxygen of the plurality of regions. The controlling of the voltage-conductance characteristic includes increasing or decreasing the conductance of the memristor device toward a target conductance at a specific voltage.
