摘要： Photonic neural networks are brain-inspired information processing technology using photons instead of electrons to perform artificial intelligence (AI) tasks. However, existing architectures are designed for a single task but fail to multiplex different tasks in parallel within a single monolithic system due to the task competition that deteriorates the model performance. This paper proposes a novel optical multi-task learning system by designing multi-wavelength diffractive deep neural networks (D2NNs) with the joint optimization method. By encoding multi-task inputs into multi-wavelength channels, the system can increase the computing throughput and significantly alle-viate the competition to perform multiple tasks in parallel with high accuracy. We design the two-task and four-task D2NNs with two and four spectral channels, respectively, for classifying different inputs from MNIST, FMNIST, KMNIST, and EMNIST databases. The numerical evaluations demonstrate that, under the same network size, mul-ti-wavelength D2NNs achieve significantly higher classification accuracies for multi-task learning than single-wavelength D2NNs. Furthermore, by increasing the network size, the multi-wavelength D2NNs for simultaneously performing multiple tasks achieve comparable classification accuracies with respect to the individual training of multiple single-wavelength D2NNs to perform tasks separately. Our work paves the way for developing the wave-length-division multiplexing technology to achieve high-throughput neuromorphic photonic computing and more general AI systems to perform multiple tasks in parallel.

摘要： Photonic neural networks perform brain-inspired computations using photons instead of electrons that can achieve substantially improved computing performance. However, existing architectures can only handle data with regular structures, e.g., images or videos, but fail to generalize to graph-structured data beyond Euclidean space, e.g., social networks or document co-citation networks. Here, we propose an all-optical graph representation learning architecture, termed diffractive graph neural network (DGNN), based on the integrated diffractive photonic computing units (DPUs) to address this limitation. Specifically, DGNN optically encodes node attributes into strip optical waveguides, which are transformed by DPUs and aggregated by on-chip optical couplers to extract their feature representations. Each DPU comprises successive passive layers of metalines to modulate the electromagnetic optical field via diffraction, where the metaline structures are learnable parameters shared across graph nodes. DGNN captures complex dependencies among the node neighborhoods and eliminates the nonlinear transition functions during the light-speed optical message passing over graph structures. We demonstrate the use of DGNN extracted features for node and graph-level classification tasks with benchmark databases and achieve superior performance. Our work opens up a new direction for designing application-specific integrated photonic circuits for high-efficiency processing of large-scale graph data structures using deep learning.

摘要： Following the explosive growth of global data, there is an ever-increasing demand for high-throughput optical fiber communication (OFC) systems to perform massive data transmission and processing. Existing OFC methods mainly rely on electronic circuits for data processing, which severely limits the communication throughput. Though considered promising for the next-generation high-speed fiber communication, all-optical OFC remains unachievable due to serious challenges in effective optical computing, system modeling and configuring. Here we propose an end-to-end photonic encoder-decoder (PED) processor which maps the physical system of OFC into an optical generative neural network. By modeling the OFC transmission process as the variation in the constructed optical latent space, the PED learns noise-resistant coding schemes via unsupervised optimization. With multi-layer parametric diffractive neural networks, the PED establishes a large-scale and high-throughput optical computing framework that integrates the main OFC computations including coding, encryption and compression to the optical domain. The whole system improves the latency of computation in OFC systems by five orders of magnitude compared with the state-of-the-art device. On benchmarking datasets, the PED experimentally achieves up to 32% reduction in transmission error ratio (ER) than on-off keying (OOK), one of the mainstream methods with the lowest ER in general transmission. As we demonstrate on medical data, the PED increases the transmission throughput by two orders of magnitude than 8-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-8). We believe the proposed photonic encoder-decoder processor not only paves the way to the next-generation all-optical OFC systems, but also promotes a wide range of AI-based physical system designs.

摘要： Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis extracts critical information from brain signals, which has provided fundamental support for various applications, including brain-disease diagnosis and brain-computer interface. However, the real-time processing of large-scale EEG signals at high energy efficiency has placed great challenges for electronic processors on edge computing devices. Here, we propose the EEG opto-processor based on diffractive photonic computing units (DPUs) to effectively process the extracranial and intracranial EEG signals and perform epileptic seizure detection. The signals of EEG channels within a second-time window are optically encoded as inputs to the constructed diffractive neural networks for classification, which monitors the brain state to determine whether it's the symptom of an epileptic seizure or not. We developed both the free-space and integrated DPUs as edge computing systems and demonstrated their applications for real-time epileptic seizure detection with the benchmark datasets, i.e., the CHB-MIT extracranial EEG dataset and Epilepsy-iEEG-Multicenter intracranial EEG dataset, at high computing performance. Along with the channel selection mechanism, both the numerical evaluations and experimental results validated the sufficient high classification accuracies of the proposed opto-processors for supervising the clinical diagnosis. Our work opens up a new research direction of utilizing photonic computing techniques for processing large-scale EEG signals in promoting its broader applications.

摘要： Conventional computational ghost imaging (CGI) uses light carrying a sequence of patterns with uniform-resolution to illuminate the object, then performs correlation calculation based on the light intensity value reflected by the target and the preset patterns to obtain object image. It requires a large number of measurements to obtain high-quality images, especially if high-resolution images are to be obtained. To solve this problem, we developed temporally variable-resolution illumination patterns, replacing the conventional uniform-resolution illumination patterns with a sequence of patterns of different imaging resolutions. In addition, we propose to combine temporally variable-resolution illumination patterns and spatially variable-resolution structure to develop temporally and spatially variable-resolution (TSV) illumination patterns, which not only improve the imaging quality of the region of interest (ROI) but also improve the robustness to noise. The methods using proposed illumination patterns are verified by simulations and experiments compared with CGI. For the same number of measurements, the method using temporally variable-resolution illumination patterns has better imaging quality than CGI, but it is less robust to noise. The method using TSV illumination patterns has better imaging quality in ROI than the method using temporally variable-resolution illumination patterns and CGI under the same number of measurements. We also experimentally verify that the method using TSV patterns have better imaging performance when applied to higher resolution imaging. The proposed methods are expected to solve the current computational ghost imaging that is difficult to achieve high-resolution and high-quality imaging.
