Optical computing accelerators help alleviate bandwidth and power consumption bottlenecks in electronics. In this paper, we show an approach to implementing logarithmic-type analog co-processors in silicon photonics and use it to perform the exponentiation operation and the recovery of a signal in the presence of multiplicative distortion. Finally, the function is realized by exploiting nonlinear-absorption-enhanced Raman amplification saturation in a silicon waveguide.
