本計畫為延續2017年8月1日於物理學門所開始執行之” 奈米環型共振腔陣列之研究”計畫。擬使用本實驗室已開發之環型共振腔技術, 進一步建構環型共振腔所組成的陣列，利用此結構進行類神經網路人工智慧的計算。每一個環型共振腔可組成一個神經元。目前文獻僅研究均一環型共振腔所形成之方形矩陣，本計畫擬變化各式拓樸連接形態的環型共振腔矩陣，並變化其每個共振腔之設計，以優化其光學計算之特性。本計畫中，我們擬將元件製作於silicon-on-insulator(SOI)晶片上。並使用我們已研究的類神經網路應用，放入全光學人工智慧電腦中進行計算。以此類神經網路奈米晶片所進行之光學計算，在未來可提供大數據等課題一個體積小、速度快的計算平台。 ;This project will follow the work of the project in MOST “Study of nano-ring resonator array”. We plan to use the ring resonators developed in our laboratory to study the ring resonator array. We will use the ring resonator array to build an artificial intelligence computer using neural networks. Each ring resonator can be regarded as a neuron. In literature, people use square ring resonator array to build the neural network. We will change the topology of the ring resonator array and the dimension of the ring resonators to optimize the characterization of the optical neural network computing. We will fabricate the device on silicon-on-insulator chip. We will apply the chip on the applications that we are investigating. This neural network ring resonator array could provide an ultra-fast computation platform to the applications of big data.
