Neuromorphic photonics is a promising research field due to its potential tackle the limitations arising from bottleneck of von-Neumann computation architecture. Inspired by characteristics and behavior biological brain, photonic neural networks are touted as solution for solving complex problems that require GHz operation at low latency power consumption. An essential building block such netwo...

In this paper, we propose a novel method using multiple-objective programming problems to answer the following question: if among a group of decision making units (DMUs), a subset of DMUs are required to merge and form a new DMU with specific input/output levels and a predefined efficiency target, how much should be the outputs/inputs of the merged DMU? This question answered according to the c...
