Abstract
En 中文
The development of artificial intelligence is typically focused on computer algorithms and integrated circuits. Recently, all-optical diffractive deep neural networks have been created that are based on passive structures and can perform complicated functions designed by computer-based neural networks. However, once a passive diffractive deep neural network architecture is fabricated, its function is fixed. Here we report a programmable diffractive deep neural network that is based on a multi-layer digital-coding metasurface array. Each meta-atom on the metasurfaces is integrated with two amplifier chips and acts an active artificial neuron, providing a dynamic modulation range of 35 dB (from -22 dB to 13 dB). We show that the system, which we term a programmable artificial intelligence machine, can handle various deep learning tasks for wave sensing, including image classification, mobile communication coding-decoding and real-time multi-beam focusing. We also develop a reinforcement learning algorithm for on-site learning and a discrete optimization algorithm for digital coding. Using a multi-layer metasurface array in which each meta-atom of the metasurface acts as an active artificial neuron, a programmable diffractive deep neural network can be created that directly processes electromagnetic waves in free space for wave sensing and wireless communications.
