Author

Abstract

To augment the capabilities of optical computing, specialized nonlinear devices as optical activation functions are crucial for enhancing the complexity of optical neural networks. However, existing optical nonlinear activation function devices often encounter challenges in preparation, compatibility, and multi-layer cascading. Here, we propose a cascadable optical nonlinear activation function architecture based on Ge-Si structured devices. Leveraging dual-source modulation, this architecture achieves cascading and wavelength switching by compensating for loss. Experimental comparisons with traditional Ge-Si devices validate the cascading capability of the new architecture. We first verified the versatility of this activation function in a MNIST task, and then in a multi-layer optical dense neural network designed for complex gesture recognition classification, the proposed architecture improves accuracy by an average of 23% compared to a linear network and 15% compared to a network with a traditional activation function architecture. With its advantages of cascadability and high compatibility, this work underscores the potential of all-optical activation functions for large-scale optical neural network scaling and complex task handling.

25. Complex-valued matrix-vector multiplication system for a large-scale optical FFT.

Author

Cao Z, Zhang W, Zhou H, Dong J, and Zhang X

Abstract

Recent advancements in optical convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and radar signal processing systems have brought an increasing need for the adoption of optical fast Fourier transform (OFFT). Presently, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is executed using electronic means within prevailing architectures. However, this electronic approach faces limitations in terms of both speed and power consumption. Concurrently, existing OFFT systems struggle to balance the demands of large-scale processing and high precision simultaneously. In response, we introduce a novel, to the best of our knowledge, solution: a complex-valued matrix-vector system harnessed through wavelength selective switches (WSSs) for the realization of a 24-input optical FFT, achieving a high-accuracy level of 5.4 bits. This study capitalizes on the abundant wavelength resources available to present a feasible solution for an optical FFT system with a large N.
