A real-time ranging lidar with 0.1 Mega Hertz update rate and few-micrometer resolution incorporating dispersive Fourier transformation and instantaneous microwave frequency measurement is proposed and demonstrated. As time-stretched femtosecond laser pulse passing through an all-fiber Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, where the detection light beam is inserted into the optical path of one arm, the displacement is encoded to the frequency variation of the temporal interferogram. To deal with the challenges in storage and real-time processing of the microwave pulse generated on a photodetector, we turn to all-optical signal processing. A carrier wave is modulated by the time-domain interferogram using an intensity modulator. After that, the frequency variation of the microwave pulse is uploaded to the first order sidebands. Finally, the frequency shift of the sidebands is turned into transmission change through a symmetric-locked frequency discriminator. In experiment, A real-time ranging system with adjustable dynamic range and detection sensitivity is realized by incorporating a programmable optical filter. Standard deviation of 7.64 {mu}m, overall mean error of 19.10 {mu}m over 15 mm detection range and standard deviation of 37.73 {mu}m, overall mean error of 36.63 {mu}m over 45 mm detection range are obtained respectively.

Microwave photonics (MWP) studies the interaction between microwave and optical waves for the generation, transmission and processing of microwave signals (i.e., three key domains), taking advantages of broad bandwidth and low loss offered by modern
photonics. Integrated MWP using photonic integrated circuits (PICs) can reach a compact, reliable and green implementation. Most PICs, however, are recently developed to perform one or more functions restricted inside a single domain. In this paper, as highly desired, a multifunctional PIC is proposed to cover the three key domains. The PIC is fabricated on InP platform by monolithically integrating four laser diodes and two modulators. Using the multifunctional PIC, seven fundamental functions across microwave signal generation, transmission and processing are demonstrated experimentally. Outdoor field trials for electromagnetic environment surveillance along an in-service high-speed railway are also performed. The success to such a PIC marks a key step forward for practical and massive MWP implementations.
Photonic signal processing is essential in the optical communication and optical computing. Numerous photonic signal processors have been proposed, but most of them exhibit limited reconfigurability and automaticity. A feature of fully automatic impl
ementation and intelligent response is highly desirable for the multipurpose photonic signal processors. Here, we report and experimentally demonstrate a fully self-learning and reconfigurable photonic signal processor based on an optical neural network chip. The proposed photonic signal processor is capable of performing various functions including multichannel optical switching, optical multiple-input-multiple-output descrambler and tunable optical filter. All the functions are achieved by complete self-learning. Our demonstration suggests great potential for chip-scale fully programmable optical signal processing with artificial intelligence.
This paper presents a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design of a segmentation algorithm based on convolutional neural network (CNN) that can process light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data in real-time. For autonomous vehicles, drivable region
segmentation is an essential step that sets up the static constraints for planning tasks. Traditional drivable region segmentation algorithms are mostly developed on camera data, so their performance is susceptible to the light conditions and the qualities of road markings. LiDAR sensors can obtain the 3D geometry information of the vehicle surroundings with high precision. However, it is a computational challenge to process a large amount of LiDAR data in real-time. In this paper, a convolutional neural network model is proposed and trained to perform semantic segmentation using data from the LiDAR sensor. An efficient hardware architecture is proposed and implemented on an FPGA that can process each LiDAR scan in 17.59 ms, which is much faster than the previous works. Evaluated using Ford and KITTI road detection benchmarks, the proposed solution achieves both high accuracy in performance and real-time processing in speed.
We design and experimentally demonstrate a radio frequency interference management system with free-space optical communication and photonic signal processing. The system provides real-time interference cancellation in 6 GHz wide bandwidth.
With recent rapid advances in photonic integrated circuits, it has been demonstrated that programmable photonic chips can be used to implement artificial neural networks. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are a class of deep learning methods that h
ave been highly successful in applications such as image classification and speech processing. We present an architecture to implement a photonic CNN using the Fourier transform property of integrated star couplers. We show, in computer simulation, high accuracy image classification using the MNIST dataset. We also model component imperfections in photonic CNN and show that the performance degradation can be recovered in a programmable chip. Our proposed architecture provides a large reduction in physical footprint compared to current implementations as it utilizes the natural advantages of optics and hence offers a scalable pathway towards integrated photonic deep learning processors.
