Ultra-broadband all-optical nonlinear activation function enabled by MoTe
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
All-optical nonlinear activation functions (NAFs) are crucial for enabling rapid optical neural networks (ONNs). As linear matrix computation advances in integrated ONNs, on-chip all-optical NAFs face challenges such as limited integration, high latency, substantial power consumption, and a high activation threshold. In this work, we develop an integrated nonlinear optical activator based on the butt-coupling integration of two-dimensional (2D) MoTe
