Photonic integrated field-programmable disk array signal processor.

ABSTRACT: Thanks to the nature of strong programmability, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been playing a significant role in signal processing and control. With the explosive growth in digital data, big data analytics becomes an important emerging field, in which FPGAs are a major player. However, the computational speed and power efficiency provided by FPGAs are limited by electronic clock rates and Ohmic losses. To overcome the limitations, photonics is envisioned as an enabling solution, thanks to its ultrafast and low power consumption feature. In this paper, we propose a scalable photonic field-programmable disk array (FPDA) signal processor. Ultra-compact microdisk resonators are leveraged as a fundamental execution units in the core to route, store and process optical signals. By field-programming the processor, diverse circuit topologies can be realized to perform multiple specific signal processing functions including filtering, temporal differentiation, time delay, beamforming, and spectral shaping.

Separating arbitrary free-space beams with an integrated photonic processor.

Project description:Free-space optics naturally offers multiple-channel communications and sensing exploitable in many applications. The different optical beams will, however, generally be overlapping at the receiver, and, especially with atmospheric turbulence or other scattering or aberrations, the arriving beam shapes may not even be known in advance. We show that such beams can be still separated in the optical domain, and simultaneously detected with negligible cross-talk, even if they share the same wavelength and polarization, and even with unknown arriving beam shapes. The kernel of the adaptive multibeam receiver presented in this work is a programmable integrated photonic processor that is coupled to free-space beams through a two-dimensional array of optical antennas. We demonstrate separation of beam pairs arriving from different directions, with overlapping spatial modes in the same direction, and even with mixing between the beams deliberately added in the path. With the circuit's optical bandwidth of more than 40 nm, this approach offers an enabling technology for the evolution of FSO from single-beam to multibeam space-division multiplexed systems in a perturbed environment, which has been a game-changing transition in fiber-optic systems.

Programmable and sequential Gaussian gates in a loop-based single-mode photonic quantum processor

Project description:Description A loop-based photonic quantum processor for general-purpose applications is demonstrated to be scalable and programmable. A quantum processor to import, process, and export optical quantum states is a common core technology enabling various photonic quantum information processing. However, there has been no photonic processor that is simultaneously universal, scalable, and programmable. Here, we report on an original loop-based single-mode versatile photonic quantum processor that is designed to be universal, scalable, and programmable. Our processor can perform arbitrarily many steps of programmable quantum operations on a given single-mode optical quantum state by time-domain processing in a dynamically controlled loop-based optical circuit. We use this processor to demonstrate programmable single-mode Gaussian gates and multistep squeezing gates. In addition, we prove that the processor can perform universal quantum operations by injecting appropriate ancillary states and also be straightforwardly extended to a multimode processor. These results show that our processor is programmable, scalable, and potentially universal, leading to be suitable for general-purpose applications.

Integrated reconstructive spectrometer with programmable photonic circuits.

Project description:Optical spectroscopic sensors are a powerful tool to reveal light-matter interactions in many fields. Miniaturizing the currently bulky spectrometers has become imperative for the wide range of applications that demand in situ or even in vitro characterization systems, a field that is growing rapidly. In this paper, we propose a novel integrated reconstructive spectrometer with programmable photonic circuits by simply using a few engineered MZI elements. This design effectively creates an exponentially scalable number of uncorrelated sampling channels over an ultra-broad bandwidth without incurring additional hardware costs, enabling ultra-high resolution down to single-digit picometers. Experimentally, we implement an on-chip spectrometer with a 6-stage cascaded MZI structure and demonstrate <10 pm resolution with >200 nm bandwidth using only 729 sampling channels. This achieves a bandwidth-to-resolution ratio of over 20,000, which is, to our best knowledge, about one order of magnitude greater than any reported miniaturized spectrometers to date.

A fully reconfigurable waveguide Bragg grating for programmable photonic signal processing.

Project description:Since the discovery of the Bragg's law in 1913, Bragg gratings have become important optical devices and have been extensively used in various systems. In particular, the successful inscription of a Bragg grating in a fiber core has significantly boosted its engineering applications. However, a conventional grating device is usually designed for a particular use, which limits general-purpose applications since its index modulation profile is fixed after fabrication. In this article, we propose to implement a fully reconfigurable grating, which is fast and electrically reconfigurable by field programming. The concept is verified by fabricating an integrated grating on a silicon-on-insulator platform, which is employed as a programmable signal processor to perform multiple signal processing functions including temporal differentiation, microwave time delay, and frequency identification. The availability of ultrafast and reconfigurable gratings opens new avenues for programmable optical signal processing at the speed of light.

Broadband physical layer cognitive radio with an integrated photonic processor for blind source separation.

Project description:The expansion of telecommunications incurs increasingly severe crosstalk and interference, and a physical layer cognitive method, called blind source separation (BSS), can effectively address these issues. BSS requires minimal prior knowledge to recover signals from their mixtures, agnostic to the carrier frequency, signal format, and channel conditions. However, previous electronic implementations did not fulfil this versatility due to the inherently narrow bandwidth of radio-frequency (RF) components, the high energy consumption of digital signal processors (DSP), and their shared weaknesses of low scalability. Here, we report a photonic BSS approach that inherits the advantages of optical devices and fully fulfils its "blindness" aspect. Using a microring weight bank integrated on a photonic chip, we demonstrate energy-efficient, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) scalable BSS across 19.2 GHz processing bandwidth. Our system also has a high (9-bit) resolution for signal demixing thanks to a recently developed dithering control method, resulting in higher signal-to-interference ratios (SIR) even for ill-conditioned mixtures.

Mixed-precision weights network for field-programmable gate array.

Project description:In this study, we introduced a mixed-precision weights network (MPWN), which is a quantization neural network that jointly utilizes three different weight spaces: binary {-1,1}, ternary {-1,0,1}, and 32-bit floating-point. We further developed the MPWN from both software and hardware aspects. From the software aspect, we evaluated the MPWN on the Fashion-MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets. We systematized the accuracy sparsity bit score, which is a linear combination of accuracy, sparsity, and number of bits. This score allows Bayesian optimization to be used efficiently to search for MPWN weight space combinations. From the hardware aspect, we proposed XOR signed-bits to explore floating-point and binary weight spaces in the MPWN. XOR signed-bits is an efficient implementation equivalent to multiplication of floating-point and binary weight spaces. Using the concept from XOR signed bits, we also provide a ternary bitwise operation that is an efficient implementation equivalent to the multiplication of floating-point and ternary weight space. To demonstrate the compatibility of the MPWN with hardware implementation, we synthesized and implemented the MPWN in a field-programmable gate array using high-level synthesis. Our proposed MPWN implementation utilized up to 1.68-4.89 times less hardware resources depending on the type of resources than a conventional 32-bit floating-point model. In addition, our implementation reduced the latency up to 31.55 times compared to 32-bit floating-point model without optimizations.

High-resolution, on-chip RF photonic signal processor using Brillouin gain shaping and RF interference.

Project description:Integrated microwave photonics has strongly emerged as a next-generation technology to address limitations of conventional RF electronics for wireless communications. High-resolution RF signal processing still remains a challenge due to limitations in technology that offer sub-GHz spectral resolution, in particular at high carrier frequencies. In this paper, we present an on-chip high-resolution RF signal processor, capable of providing high-suppression spectral filtering, large phase shifts and ns-scale time delays. This was achieved through tailoring of the Brillouin gain profiles using Stokes and anti-Stokes resonances combined with RF interferometry on a low-loss photonic chip with strong opto-acoustic interactions. Using an optical power of <40 mW, reconfigurable filters with a bandwidth of ~20 MHz and an extinction ratio in excess of 30 dB are synthesized. Through the concept of vector addition of RF signals we demonstrate, almost an order of magnitude amplification in the phase and delay compared to devices purely based upon the slow-light effect of Brillouin scattering. This concept allows for versatile and power-efficient manipulation of the amplitude and phase of RF signals on a photonic chip for applications in wireless communications including software defined radios and beam forming.

Ultrahigh dynamic range and low noise figure programmable integrated microwave photonic filter.

Project description:Microwave photonics has adopted a number of important concepts and technologies over the recent pasts, including photonic integration, versatile programmability, and techniques for enhancing key radio frequency performance metrics such as the noise figure and the dynamic range. However, to date, these aspects have not been achieved simultaneously in a single circuit. Here, we report a multi-functional photonic integrated circuit that enables programmable filtering functions with record-high performance. We demonstrate reconfigurable filter functions with record-low noise figure and a RF notch filter with ultra-high dynamic range. We achieve this unique feature using versatile complex spectrum tailoring enabled by an all integrated modulation transformer and a double injection ring resonator as a multi-function optical filtering component. Our work breaks the conventional and fragmented approach of integration, functionality and performance that currently prevents the adoption of integrated MWP systems in real applications.

A programmable topological photonic chip.

Project description:Controlling topological phases of light allows the observation of abundant topological phenomena and the development of robust photonic devices. The prospect of more sophisticated control with topological photonic devices for practical implementations requires high-level programmability. Here we demonstrate a fully programmable topological photonic chip with large-scale integration of silicon photonic nanocircuits and microresonators. Photonic artificial atoms and their interactions in our compound system can be individually addressed and controlled, allowing the arbitrary adjustment of structural parameters and geometrical configurations for the observation of dynamic topological phase transitions and diverse photonic topological insulators. Individual programming of artificial atoms on the generic chip enables the comprehensive statistical characterization of topological robustness against relatively weak disorders, and counterintuitive topological Anderson phase transitions induced by strong disorders. This generic topological photonic chip can be rapidly reprogrammed to implement multifunctionalities, providing a flexible and versatile platform for applications across fundamental science and topological technologies.

Haptic virtual surgery simulation system under field programmable analogue array-based hybrid control.

Project description:In this paper, a bilateral haptic virtual surgery simulation system under a hybrid controller was studied. An analogue controller realized by a field programmable analogue array (FPAA) was paralleled in the operator robot side, which reduced the impact of controller discretisation on the system. A system stability conditions under hybrid control with multiple-operators were deduced. The stability analysis indicates that the addition of analogue derivative term widens the range of haptic controls gains that satisfy the multiple-users' stability conditions. Finally, the human's performance of a stiffness discrimination task was studied in an independently developed minimally invasive surgical (MIS) platform. The experiment results show that, human operators under the hybrid controller achieve the highest task success rates.
