Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of reservoir computing, and in particular to a reservoir computing system and method based on semiconductor lasers. Background Art

[0002] In the context of the rapid development of information technology today, artificial intelligence is increasingly widely used, especially in the fields of data processing and pattern recognition. Traditional computing systems often struggle when faced with complex non-linear problems. Therefore, researchers have been constantly exploring new computing architectures to improve processing efficiency and accuracy. Neural networks, as a computing system that mimics the biological nervous system, have become the core for solving various intelligent tasks. Its basic unit - neurons form a complex network structure through connections between layers, and have achieved remarkable results in many applications such as robot path planning, image processing, and time series prediction. However, the training process of deep learning neural network computing systems requires a large amount of labeled data and computing resources, which will consume a large amount of human, material, and time costs.

[0003] To solve these problems, reservoir computing (RC) has gradually attracted attention as an emerging framework. It uses a series of physical components (such as multiple semiconductor lasers) to form a fixed, randomly connected dynamic computing system to process input signals, and trains the output layer through a simple linear regression method, enabling functions such as image classification, time series prediction, robot motion control, and path planning without a complex training process. Among them, semiconductor lasers have become one of the ideal devices for reservoir computing due to their advantages such as low power consumption and fast response speed. Taking a reservoir system based on semiconductor lasers as an example, when classifying an image, only the image to be classified needs to be encoded as an input optical signal and input into the reservoir. After the semiconductor laser receives the input optical signal, it will generate a response signal due to its own non-linear optical characteristics and optical feedback effect. These response signals contain feature information such as the space and gray scale of the image to be classified. The output module can obtain the output weights of the reservoir by training the output signals of the reservoir, and finally use the output weights to obtain the predicted category of the output image to be classified.

[0004] In a reservoir computing system based on semiconductor lasers, each semiconductor laser is a physical node that can respond to input signals. The number of nodes determines the amount of characteristic information that can be captured. For example, when performing time series prediction, the more nodes there are, the longer the historical information that can be recorded, and thus the more accurately the dynamic change law of the input data can be captured, improving the prediction accuracy of the system. In the prior art, the number of nodes is increased by increasing the number of components in the reservoir, thereby improving the data processing accuracy of the reservoir computing system. However, this not only increases the cost, hardware volume, and power consumption of the system, but also affects the data processing speed of the system, making the reservoir computing system unable to be used in application scenarios with high real-time requirements such as autonomous driving and medical monitoring.

[0005] In summary, the existing reservoir computing systems have problems in that they cannot balance data processing accuracy, data processing speed, cost, power consumption, and volume. Summary of the Invention

[0048] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and be able to implement it, but the specific embodiments cited are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a reservoir computing system based on a semiconductor laser provided by the present application. The computing system specifically includes an input module 1, an optoelectronic hybrid reservoir module 2, and an output module 3.

[0050] The input module 1 is used to generate an original optical signal.

[0051] The optoelectronic hybrid reservoir module 2 includes a semiconductor laser 21, a feedback loop 22, and a first coupling module 23.

[0052] The semiconductor laser 21 is used to perform a laser response to the original optical signal and the coupled optical signal transmitted by the feedback loop 22.

[0053] The feedback loop 22 is connected to the semiconductor laser 21 and is used to divide the response signal output by the semiconductor laser 21 into two optical signals. One is transmitted to the output module 3 as a response optical signal, and the other is transmitted to the first coupling module 23 as a feedback optical signal; the coupled optical signal output by the first coupling module 23 is transmitted to the semiconductor laser 21.

[0054] The first coupling module 23 is connected to the input module 1 and the feedback loop 22 and is used to couple the original optical signal and the feedback optical signal, output a coupled optical signal and transmit it to the feedback loop 22. Specifically, the first coupling module 23 is an optical coupler.

[0055] Optionally, the original optical signal generated by the input module 1 can be input into the semiconductor laser 21 through the first coupling module 23 and the feedback loop 22, so that the semiconductor laser 21 can perform a laser response to it. The input module 1 can also be connected to the first coupling module 23 and the semiconductor laser 21 respectively, so that the original optical signal generated by the input module 1 is directly transmitted to the semiconductor laser 21.

[0056] In some embodiments, the optoelectronic hybrid reservoir module 2 further includes a temperature controller 24, which is connected to the semiconductor laser 21 and is used to control the central wavelength of the semiconductor laser 21, so as to control the frequency detuning between the semiconductor laser 21 and the input module 1.

[0057] The output module 3 is connected to the semiconductor laser 21 and the feedback loop 22, and is used to collect the response optical signal and the electrical signal of the semiconductor laser 21, and obtain the target output signal of the reservoir computing system based on the response optical signal and the electrical signal.

[0058] Since the characteristics such as the intensity and frequency of different original optical signals will cause the semiconductor laser to make different excitation responses and output optical signals with different characteristics such as intensity, wavelength and phase, in the prior art, the response optical signal when the semiconductor laser performs a laser response is collected to reflect the state performance of the computing system after processing the input signal. This application discovers that when the semiconductor laser performs a laser response to the original optical signal, physical processes such as internal electron transitions and carrier concentrations will change, and thus its own electrical signal will change. Therefore, the electrical signal when the semiconductor laser performs a laser response can also reflect the state of the system after processing the input signal.

[0059] Based on this, the present application innovatively designs an optoelectronic hybrid reservoir module to replace the traditional reservoir module. Specifically, when the optoelectronic hybrid reservoir module receives the original optical signal, the semiconductor laser performs a laser response to the original optical signal and outputs a response signal containing characteristic information. Using a feedback loop, the response signal is divided into two optical signals. One is transmitted as a response optical signal to the output module, and the other is transmitted as a feedback optical signal to the first coupling module. The first coupling module couples the original optical signal containing the original information and the feedback optical signal containing the characteristic information to obtain a coupled optical signal integrating the original information and the characteristic information. The feedback loop is used to transmit the coupled optical signal to the semiconductor laser again, enabling the semiconductor laser to perform a laser response to the coupled optical signal again and extract new characteristic information. Further, the output module simultaneously collects the response optical signal and the electrical signal of the semiconductor laser, reflecting the state of the system after processing the input signal from different dimensions, generating rich reservoir states, enhancing the nonlinear characteristics of the system, improving the performance of the system when processing complex tasks, adding virtual nodes related to electrical signals on the basis of the original single optical signal node, thus effectively increasing the number of virtual nodes without changing the hardware structure of the system, further enhancing the computing power and data processing accuracy of the system, while also ensuring the characteristics of high data processing efficiency, low hardware cost, small volume, and low power consumption of the system, and greatly optimizing the system performance.

[0060] Further, as Figure 1 shown in

[0061] The input end of the optical circulator 221 is connected to the output end of the semiconductor laser 21 and the output end of the first coupling module 23, and the output end is connected to the input end of the semiconductor laser 21; it is used to receive the response signal output by the semiconductor laser 21 and transmit the coupled optical signal output by the first coupling module 23 to the semiconductor laser.

[0062] The input end of the second coupling module 222 is connected to the output end of the optical circulator 221, and the output end is connected to the input end of the first variable optical attenuator 223 and the input end of the output module 3; it is used to divide the response signal into two optical signals, one is transmitted as a response optical signal to the output module 3, and the other is transmitted as a feedback optical signal to the first variable optical attenuator 223.

[0063] The first variable optical attenuator 223 is used to adjust the feedback intensity of the feedback optical signal.

[0064] The input end of the signal delay transmission module 224 is connected to the output end of the first variable optical attenuator 223, and the output end is connected to the input end of the first coupling module 23, which is used to delay the feedback optical signal and transmit it to the first coupling module 23.

[0065] Optionally, the signal delay transmission module 224 can be a delay optical fiber or free space light. Since the delay optical fiber has the advantages of small dispersion, large transmission bandwidth, and small attenuation, and is suitable for transmitting high-frequency signals, in some embodiments of the present application, a preset delay optical fiber is selected to transmit the feedback optical signal to the first coupling module 23. In other embodiments, free space light can also be used to transmit the feedback optical signal, and the present application does not limit this.

[0066] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown in

[0067] The output module 3 includes an optical signal collector 31, an electrical signal collector 32, an adder 33, and a programmable gate array 34.

[0068] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the optical signal collector 31 includes an optical isolator 311 and a photodetector 312. Among them, the optical isolator 311 is connected to the second coupling module 222 for transmitting the response optical signal; the photodetector 312 is connected to the optical isolator 311 for performing optoelectronic conversion on the response optical signal.

[0069] The electrical signal collector 32 is connected to the semiconductor laser 21 for collecting the electrical signal of the semiconductor laser 21.

[0070] Specifically, the voltage signal of the semiconductor laser 21 can reflect the system state. Therefore, the electrical signal collector 32 can be a multimeter for collecting the voltage signal of the semiconductor laser 21.

[0071] The adder 33 is connected to the optical signal collector 31 and the electrical signal collector 32 for superimposing the response optical signal and the electrical signal to obtain an output signal.

[0072] The programmable gate array 34 is connected to the adder 33 for training the output of the optoelectronic hybrid reservoir module 2 to obtain the output weights of the response optical signal and the electrical signal, thereby obtaining the target output signal of the reservoir computing system.

[0073] Exemplarily, after the photodetector 312 performs optoelectronic conversion on the response optical signal, an electrical signal is output , the electrical signal collector 32 collects the terminal voltage signal of the semiconductor laser 21 , and the two signals are superimposed by the adder 33 to form the output of the optoelectronic hybrid reservoir module 2 。The programmable gate array 34 trains the output of the optoelectronic hybrid reservoir module 2 using a linear regression algorithm or a ridge regression algorithm to obtain the output weights of the two signals, so as to obtain the target output signal of the reservoir computing system based on the two signals and their output weights.

[0074] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the input module 1 includes a driving laser 11, a waveform generator 12, and a modulator 13.

[0075] The driving laser 11 is used to generate a laser signal.

[0076] The waveform generator 12 is used to generate a mask signal.

[0077] The input end of the modulator 13 is connected to the driving laser 11 and the waveform generator 12, and is used to modulate the laser signal based on the mask signal to generate an original optical signal.

[0078] Specifically, the mask signal generated by the waveform generator 12 changes according to the requirements of the calculation scenario. The modulator 13 is a phase modulator or an intensity modulator, and the modulated original optical signal is obtained by multiplying the laser signal by the mask signal.

[0079] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the input module 1 further includes a second variable optical attenuator 14, whose input end is connected to the output end of the modulator 13 and is used to adjust the injection intensity of the original optical signal.

[0080] The reservoir computing system based on a semiconductor laser provided by the present application can generate rich reservoir states by adjusting the feedback intensity of the feedback optical signal, the injection intensity of the original optical signal, and the frequency detuning between the semiconductor laser and the driving laser, and combining the time-division multiplexing technology. At the same time, the dual output mechanism of the feedback loop and optoelectronic hybrid can effectively increase the non-linear virtual nodes of the system without changing the hardware structure of the system, which can not only increase the number of captured feature information and improve the data processing accuracy, but also has the advantages of high data processing efficiency, low cost, and low power consumption.
