Optical Computing Apparatus and System, and Convolution Computing Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18362200 titled 'Optical Computing Apparatus and System, and Convolution Computing Method

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an optical computing apparatus that uses light signals for computation.

  • The apparatus includes a light source array, a modulator array, and a wavelength router.
  • The light source array sends groups of optical signals based on input data to be computed.
  • The modulator array receives the optical signals, modulates them to provide modulated data, and outputs intermediate optical signals.
  • The wavelength router receives the intermediate optical signals and outputs them as second optical signals based on their wavelengths.
  • The second optical signals are sent to output ports to indicate the computing result of the input data.
  • The invention aims to provide a more efficient and faster method of computing using light signals.
  • The use of optical signals allows for parallel processing and potentially higher computational speeds.
  • The apparatus can be used in various applications such as data centers, telecommunications, and scientific research.


Original Abstract Submitted

An optical computing apparatus includes a light source array, a modulator array, and a wavelength router. The light source array is configured to send a plurality of groups of optical signals based on first data to be computed. The modulator array includes a plurality of modulators. The modulator array is configured to receive the groups of optical signals, modulate the groups to provide modulated second data, and output a plurality of intermediate optical signals based on the modulated second data. The wavelength router is configured to receive the plurality of intermediate optical signals from the modulator array, and output, based on wavelengths of the intermediate optical signals, the intermediate optical signals as a plurality of second optical signals to a plurality of output ports to indicate a computing result of the first data and the second data.
