Instead of converting images to electronic data for computers to process, the chip uses light signals to make sense of data and act upon it.
The chip has a processing bandwidth of up to a hundred billion pixels but a response time of just six nanoseconds.Researchers have developed a new intelligent photonic sensing-computing chip that can process, transmit and reconstruct images of a scene within nanoseconds.Researchers at Tsinghua University in China have developed a new photonic chip that processes, transmits, and reconstructs images in nanoseconds.
“The world is entering an AI era, but AI is very time- and energy-exhaustive,” said Lu Fang, associate professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University in China. In a fast-moving world, machine vision now demands that data is processed on the device, called edge computing, to aid faster decision-making. , intelligent cars and laptops has resulted in explosive growth of image data to be processed, transmitted and displayed.
Under Fang’s guidance, the researchers have built an optical parallel computational array chip with a sensing-computing array made using ring resonators. This design allows theto convert an optical image into a two-dimensional representation of its light intensity that can be guided onto the chip using a micro-lens array.
