1Speed
If photonic computing is used to perform computation in photonic domain, then computation speed is improved, but output signal accuracy deteriorates due to manufacturing errors and deviations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism by creating a corresponding relationship between theoretical mathematical results and actual output signals. The system stores the relationship between expected computation results and actual photonic output signals, then uses this stored correspondence to correct and interpret subsequent output signals, thereby improving accuracy while maintaining high-speed photonic computation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the theoretical mathematical results in the form of stored corresponding relationships. By storing the expected output signals and their correspondence to theoretical results, the system can compare actual outputs against these stored copies to accurately interpret photonic computation results despite manufacturing deviations
2Adaptability or versatility
If photonic computing device is manufactured, then computation capability is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates leading to errors in output signals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful effect of manufacturing errors into a beneficial calibration process. By intentionally measuring and storing the actual output signals against theoretical results, the system creates a correction map that transforms the inherent imperfections of photonic devices into known, compensable characteristics, enabling accurate computation despite manufacturing limitations
3Measurement precision
If corresponding relationship between theoretical result and output signal is established, then output signal interpretation accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing and storing the corresponding relationships between theoretical mathematical results and actual photonic output signals before actual computation tasks. This calibration phase is performed once, and the stored correspondence is then reused for multiple computations, improving interpretation accuracy without adding complexity to the actual computation process
