The processor unit includes: a light source or port configured to provide a plurality of light outputs, and a first set of optical modulators coupled to the light source or port and the first unit. The optical modulators in the first set are configured to generate an optical input vector by modulating the plurality of light outputs provided by the light source or port based on digital input values corresponding to a first set of modulator control signals in the plurality of modulator control signals, the optical input vector comprising a plurality of optical signals. The processor unit also includes a matrix multiplication unit that includes a second set of optical modulators. The matrix multiplication unit is coupled to the first unit, and is configured to transform the optical input vector into an analog output vector based on a plurality of digital weight values corresponding to a second set of modulator control signals in the plurality of modulator control signals applied to the second set of optical modulators. At least one optical modulator of at least one of the first set of optical modulators or the second set of optical modulators is configured to modulate an optical signal based on a first modulator control signal among the plurality of modulator control signals, and the first unit is configured to shape the first modulator control signal to include bandwidth-enhancement associated with a change in amplitude associated with a corresponding change in successive digital values corresponding to the first modulator control signal.

    摘要: Systems and methods that include: providing input information in an electronic format; converting at least a part of the electronic input information into an optical input vector; optically transforming the optical input vector into an optical output vector based on an optical matrix multiplication; converting the optical output vector into an electronic format; and electronically applying a non-linear transformation to the electronically converted optical output vector to provide output information in an electronic format.
    In some examples, a set of multiple input values are encoded on respective optical signals carried by optical waveguides. For each of at least two subsets of one or more optical signals, a corresponding set of one or more copying modules splits the subset of one or more optical signals into two or more copies of the optical signals. For each of at least two copies of a first subset of one or more optical signals, a corresponding multiplication module multiplies the one or more optical signals of the first subset by one or more matrix element values using optical amplitude modulation. For results of two or more of the multiplication modules, a summation module produces an electrical signal that represents a sum of the results of the two or more of the multiplication modules.
