Detailed Description
The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific examples, which are intended to illustrate, but not to limit, the invention.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a photonic synapse weight matrix device of a cross array, including:
a tunable light source and electro-optical modulator 11 for acquiring at least two optical-electrical signals, the two optical-electrical signals comprising: a first photoelectric signal and a second photoelectric signal;
and the photon synapse crossing array 12 is connected with the tunable light source and the electro-optic modulator and is used for respectively adjusting the pulse intensities of the two paths of photoelectric signals to obtain an adjusted photoelectric output signal.
For example, a first fiber coupler and a second fiber coupler are disposed between the tunable light source and the electro-optic modulator 11 and the photonic synapse crossing array 12;
the tunable light source and electro-optical modulator 11 comprises at least a first channel 111 and a second channel 112;
the first optical fiber coupler 131 connected to the first channel 111 is configured to split the first optical signal generated by the first channel 111 to obtain a first optical signal and a second optical signal;
the second optical fiber coupler 132 connected to the second channel 112 is configured to split the second optical signal of the second channel to obtain a third optical signal and a fourth optical signal.
In this embodiment, the VCSELs of the VCSOA are used as vertical cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers (vertical cavity semiconductor amplifier, VCSOA) which are capable of controlled weighting of optical pulses of 150ps long and with peak power of 1 μw. Because the VCSOA has nonlinear gain characteristics when being injected by external light, the full-weight adjustability of the input optical pulse of subnanoseconds can be realized by only changing the external bias current of the VCSOA in a static or dynamic mode. The VCSOA-based synapses are not only able to adjust the intensity of the incoming light pulses, but may also provide gain, i.e. a weighting factor > 1. The experimental scheme is built based on commercial VCSELs and optical fiber assemblies at a key communication wavelength of 1550nm, and the method is compatible with optical network and data center technologies.
Specifically, the photonic synapse crossing array 12 includes at least a first vertical cavity surface semiconductor emitting laser VCSEL121, a second VCSEL122, a third VCSEL123, a fourth VCSEL124;
the first VCSEL121 is configured to receive the first optical signal, and adjust a pulse intensity of the first optical signal to obtain a first optical output signal;

The photonic synapse weight matrix device of the cross array of the embodiment comprises: the tunable light source and the electro-optic modulator are used for acquiring at least two paths of photoelectric signals, wherein the two paths of photoelectric signals comprise: a first photoelectric signal and a second photoelectric signal; and the photon synapse crossing array is connected with the tunable light source and the electro-optic modulator and is used for respectively adjusting the pulse intensity of the two paths of photoelectric signals to obtain an adjusted photoelectric output signal. The pulse intensity of the two paths of photoelectric signals is adjusted through the photon synapse crossing array, so that the data processing speed of the artificial intelligent neural network is improved.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a photonic synapse weight matrix device of a cross array, which includes: the first VCSEL, the second VCSEL, the third VCSEL, and the fourth VCSEL respectively adjust pulse intensities of the first optical signal, the second optical signal, the third optical signal, and the fourth optical signal, including at least 2 implementations.
The first implementation mode: static adjustment;
the fixed bias current of each VCSEL is adopted to realize the adjustment of each path of photoelectric signal by adopting fixed amplification weight.

The AWG is adopted to output different bias currents to each VCSEL, and the adjustment of each path of photoelectric signals by adopting dynamic amplification weights is realized.
Further, the photonic synapse weight matrix device of the cross array is characterized by further comprising: a third optical fiber coupler 133, a fourth optical fiber coupler 134, a first photodetector PD1 (141), and a second photodetector PD2 (142);
the third optical fiber coupler 133 is connected to the first VCSEL121 and the third VCSEL123, respectively, and is configured to output a third coupling signal coupled to the third optical fiber coupler 133, where the third coupling signal includes a sum signal obtained by weighting the first optical output signal and the third optical output signal, respectively, and the first photodetector PD1 (141) detects the third coupling signal;
the fourth optical fiber coupler 134 is connected to the second VCSEL122 and the fourth VCSEL124, respectively, and is configured to output a fourth coupled signal coupled by the fourth optical fiber coupler, where the fourth coupled signal includes a sum signal obtained by weighting the second optical output signal and the fourth optical output signal, respectively, and the second photodetector detection PD2 (142) detects the fourth coupled signal.
Specifically, the first optical-electrical signal generated by the first tunable optical source TL1 and the second optical-electrical signal generated by the second tunable optical source TL2 are output through an optical isolator ISO and then a variable optical attenuator VOA, where the optical isolator ISO is used to avoid unnecessary reflection of the transmitted optical signal, the variable optical attenuator VOA may control the output power of the optical signal, and then the optical signal is polarization-processed by a polarization controller PC and then is introduced into a mach-zehnder modulator MZM, where a 15MHz Pulse Generator (PG) is used to modulate injection of TL1 together with MZM1, modulate injection of TL2 together with MZM2, and then use a polarization controller PC to match the polarization of the optical signal to a parallel resonant mode of the VCSEL, and use two 50: the optical fiber coupler 50 splits each path of modulated light into two paths, the optical signals generated by TL1 are respectively injected into the VCSOA11 and the VCSOA12 through the optical circulator, and the optical signals generated by TL2 are respectively injected into the VCSOA21 and the VCSOA22 through the optical circulator. The incident light pulses are weighted according to the operating point of the VCSOA and then combined in a fast 9GHz amplified photodetector before analysis, the output of the VCSOA11 and the VCSOA21 passing through 50: the coupler 50 is then connected to the oscilloscope 1 channel via the photodetector PD1 for testing, and the outputs of the VCSOA12 and VCSOA22 are then passed through the coupler 50: the 50 coupler was passed through PD2 again and the results of post2 were observed on an oscilloscope in 2 channels.
For the generation of 4 channel electrical signals in a2 x 2VCSOA crossover array using an arbitrary waveform generator AWG, the tunable laser TL provides an optical carrier.
Static adjustment, i.e. static weights: the static weights were measured at the respective wavelengths for 150ps long pulses injected into the devices using 4 VCSOAs (operating wavelength 1550 nm), these weight values providing the maximum amplification of the light pulses injected into each device, and appropriate bias current settings w11, w21, w12, w22 were selected in the VCSOAs 11, 21, 12, 22, respectively, each VCSOA yielding a corresponding amplification factor. The electrical detector collects the output pulses obtained after the combination of the two VCSOA synapses at the system output. This value is related to the sum of the two weighted pulses w11 and w21, thus effecting a multiplication-addition of the synapses, the weight matrix being
Figure BDA0004127012210000081
For VCSOA21 and VCSOA22, the same operation yields the output of post2, post 2= (w12×pre1) + (w22×pre2).
The static weights applied to VCSOA synapses can be used to perform the multiply-add operation of the synapses with low input power (pulse peak power of only a few tens of μw) and very small applied bias current variations (tens of μa), the limits of input speed being set by the recovery time of the VCSOA and determined by the carrier lifetime, which is typically-1 ns for VCSELs used in this scheme.
Dynamic adjustment, i.e. dynamic weight: for high-speed dynamic adjustment of the synaptic weight of the VCSOA, the AWG controls the synaptic system based on the VCSOA to quickly adapt to a new task or training set without manually setting parameters. In the proposed scheme, a VCSOA cross array with dynamic (time varying) weights is used. The input pulse coded optical signals generated by PG are injected into the VCSOA cross array, 4 paths of different signals are generated by using the AWG to modulate the bias current of each VCSOA, the amplitude levels of the pulses generated by the four VCSOA output ends are consistent with the level signals generated by the corresponding AWG, the weights w11, w12, w21 and w22 respectively correspond to the weights, and the input pulses are multiplied by the configurable weights before all VCSOA branches are added in the photoelectric detector (without considering the wavelengths of the weights), namely, the combined weights of the output pulses finish the multiplication and addition operation of synapses.
In general, the weighted sum operation of fast light pulses can be performed by VCSOA cross array synapses with high speed and user-defined weighted control. Furthermore, in each configuration studied, we dynamically weighted it at high speed by adjusting the applied bias current; thus allowing for quick and remote adjustment of synaptic weights. This allows our proposed photonic cross-array synapses to be easily readjusted for different network tasks or training periods. Furthermore, this scheme was built based on commercial VCSEL and fiber optic assemblies at critical communication wavelengths (1550 nm); thus making our method fully compatible with optical communication network and data center technologies. Therefore, the scheme utilizes the advantages of the VCSEL in terms of hardware friendliness, low power consumption, high speed and fast tuning weight in photon synapse, and is used for a future neuromorphic photon spike processing platform.
