[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will be given in part in the following description and in part will be obvious from the following description or learned through practice of the present disclosure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent and easily understood from the following description of the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing and computing chip system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing and computing chip architecture provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 3 A flowchart of a calculation method of an ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing and computing chip system provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0021] With the widespread deployment of sensing and computing modules at the edge of the Internet, image processing, transmission, and reconstruction are becoming increasingly important. Optics plays a key role in imaging, communication, and display, while digital CMOS electronics dominates the field of image sensing and processing. The development of optics and electronics has successfully improved their respective transmission bandwidths and processing speeds. However, the frame rate and energy efficiency of operations such as spatial image processing, transmission, and reconstruction are approaching their limits. The above challenges mainly come from two aspects: (1) The performance of electronic circuits is gradually saturated, limiting the potential for significantly improving signal processing speed and energy efficiency; (2) Image operations require frequent serial conversions between the electronic and optical domains during image sensing and transmission, which results in a lot of energy consumption and limits the frame rate of the above operations.

[0022] Among them, image processing can be performed in parallel in the optical domain to alleviate the bottleneck problem of integrated electronic circuits. In the prior art, spatial optical modulation elements can be used to pre-process images and input them into electronic systems for post-processing. However, existing photon calculation methods cannot directly process spatial intensity images.

[0023] In addition, smart sensors can be developed to transfer some digital operations to or near the sensor, without extracting the original image pixels, and only reading the valid data therein, including spatial image features and temporal dynamics, to reduce the bandwidth pressure between sensing and computing. Among them, the above sensors do not need to read out the original pixels, but because the current cannot be multiplexed, based on this, the output still needs to be read out sequentially, which limits the increase in sensing and processing frame rates, and the transmission and reconstruction operations need to go through EO (electrical / optical) / OE (optical / electrical) and DA (digital / analog) / AD (analog / analog) conversion, and the above conversion is limited by the current saturation of electronic circuit development.

[0024] In existing technologies, all-optical computing has the potential to address the bandwidth limitations inherent in optoelectronic hybrid processing, transmission, and reconstruction. However, in the above existing technologies, intensity image recording and image processing are separate. Although the effectiveness of optical computing has been proven, it is still challenging to directly process optical intensity input.

[0025] The present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing and computing chip system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing chip system includes an all-optical parallel computing array chip (OPCA chip) and a demultiplexing device. The all-optical parallel computing array chip includes multiple microlenses, multiple resonant rings and bus waveguides, wherein: A microlens, used to obtain natural light of a first image in a target area where the microlens is located; The plurality of resonant rings are connected to the plurality of microlens arrays, and are used to obtain the light focused by the corresponding microlenses, and coherently combine the light propagating in the bus waveguide, so as to modulate the light propagating in the bus waveguide and obtain a first modulation result; The bus waveguide connects the multiple resonant rings in series, and is used to obtain incident light and propagate the incident light in the multiple resonant rings, and combine the first modulation results to obtain the output light result; The demultiplexing device is connected to the all-optical parallel computing array chip and is used to determine the classification result of the first image based on the output light result.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the microlenses includes a matching period and numerical aperture (NA), and the multiple microlenses are distributed in an array (e.g., 8×8), and each microlens has a corresponding resonant ring. The microlens array limits the input natural light field to the sensing area of ​​the resonant ring, and images the object onto the resonant ring array, so that the light in the target area is focused onto the resonant ring through the corresponding microlens.

[0028] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned resonant ring is a high-Q all-pass resonant ring, and the multiple resonant rings are divided into different groups, and the resonant rings in different groups correspond to different wavelengths of light in the bus waveguide. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned method of obtaining the light focused by the corresponding microlens and modulating it with the light propagating in the bus waveguide to obtain the first modulation result may include: obtaining the light focused by the corresponding microlens, and the focused light is absorbed by the resonant ring silicon waveguide to generate photogenerated carriers, and based on the high Q value of the resonant ring and the refractive index of the photogenerated carriers, the light propagating in the bus waveguide is phase-modulated and / or amplitude-modulated to obtain the first modulation result.

[0029] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the high Q value of the resonant ring, the refractive index change caused by the carriers is amplified, thereby phase and / or amplitude modulating the light propagating in the bus waveguide, and different resonators are biased to different resonant wavelengths.

[0030] And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of acquiring incident light and propagating the incident light in a plurality of resonant rings, and obtaining an output light result based on a first modulation result may include the following steps: Step 1, obtaining incident light and propagating the incident light in a plurality of resonant rings to obtain a first modulation result of each resonant ring; Step 2: based on the coherent combination of the incident light in the bus waveguide, a second modulation result of each group of resonant rings is obtained; Step 3: Based on the second modulation result of each group of resonant rings, an output light result is obtained.

[0031] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is assumed that the resonant ring group A processes wavelength 1, and the resonant ring group A includes resonant ring 1 and resonant ring 2. Among them, when the resonant ring 1 receives ambient light with an intensity of 1, it modulates wavelength 1 by π, and when the resonant ring 2 receives ambient light with an intensity of 1, it modulates wavelength 1 by -π, then the phase of the wavelength 1 light in the bus waveguide passing through the resonant ring 1 and the resonant ring 2 remains unchanged; when the resonant ring 1 receives ambient light with an intensity of 1, it modulates wavelength 1 by π, and when the resonant ring 2 receives ambient light with an intensity of 0, it modulates wavelength 1 by 0, then the wavelength 1 light in the bus waveguide passing through the resonant ring 1 and the resonant ring 2 changes its phase by π after passing through the two resonant rings. Based on this, the phase value of wavelength 1 in the bus waveguide can reflect the difference in the intensity of the ambient light received by the resonant ring 1 and the resonant ring 2.

[0032] Further, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the demultiplexing device can be connected to the all-optical parallel computing array chip through an optical fiber, and is used to determine the classification result of the first image based on the output light result. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for determining the classification result of the first image based on the output light result can include: determining the classification result of the first image based on the information intensity of different wavelength components in the output light result.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the demultiplexing device can disperse light of different wavelengths, so that the classification result of the first image can be obtained according to the characteristics of the wavelength. For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that wavelength 1 corresponds to image H, when the amplitude of wavelength 1 in the output light result is the largest, the classification result of the first image corresponding to the output light result is image H.

[0034] And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above system may further include an optical renderer, which may be connected to the all-optical parallel computing array chip through an optical fiber to obtain an output light result, and perform all-optical reconstruction based on the output light result to obtain a second image in the target area, thereby realizing remote transmission and restoration of the optical image. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above optical renderer includes a blazed grating and a diffraction module, wherein the blazed grating is designed in pair with a plurality of resonant rings and a plurality of microlens arrays.

[0035] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for performing plenoptic reconstruction based on the output light result to obtain a second image in the target area may include the following steps: Step a, reflecting light of different wavelengths in the output light result to a spatial position through a blazed grating; Step b: The diffraction module diffracts different phase masks in the spatial position to obtain a second image in the target area.

[0036] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second image is the same as the first image, based on which, the output light result can be transmitted to the far field in real time and computationally reconstructed through a jointly designed optical renderer without the need for serial readout through an electronic camera, thereby not limiting the frame rate of imaging and image processing.

[0037] It should be noted that in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the response time of the above-mentioned ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing chip can reach 6 nanoseconds, and the optical bandwidth is 160 nanometers (1480 nanometers to 1640 nanometers), thereby significantly improving the energy efficiency and computing speed of image processing. At the same time, the above-mentioned solutions are all completed in the optical domain, so they can be applied to edge computing, intelligent robots and other fields, demonstrating the wide applicability of ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing chips in modern technology.

[0038] In summary, the ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing chip system provided in this embodiment processes the spatial intensity image through the all-optical parallel computing array chip and the demultiplexing device, makes full use of the coherence and interference effects, realizes the parallel processing of multiple features, and thus improves the image recognition efficiency. At the same time, the ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing chip system can be applied to edge computing, intelligent robots and other fields, demonstrating the wide applicability of ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing chips in modern technology.

Each part of the chip is driven by intelligent task goals and reversely designed, so it can ensure optimal image processing performance.

[0040] In order to implement the above embodiment, Figure 3 The present disclosure also proposes an image classification method using an ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing chip system. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps: Step 301, obtaining natural light and incident light of a first image in a target area; Step 302: input the natural light and the incident light into the ultrafast all-optical intelligent sensing chip to obtain the output light result; Step 303: input the output light result into a demultiplexing device to obtain a classification result of the first image.
