Invited - Machine learning techniques for noise characterizatoin of optical frequeny combs

Darko Zibar, Jasper Riebesehl

Technical University of Denmark, Denmark

We will present how widely used techniques such as autoencoders can be used to perform phase noise characterization of optical frequency combs. Optical frequency comb is an optical source that produces evenly spaced frequency lines. It is considered as a frequency ruler and has diverse applications in: frequency referencing, grid synchronization, optical communication, calibration for spectrographs e.g.

Classifying chestnuts as healthy or diseased remains a complex challenge in quality assessment. In our study, we use THz imaging to determine accurately the health status of chestnuts. Through innovative spectroscopic analysis, we explore the potential of three distinct unsupervised data analysis techniques: Principal Component Analysis (PCA), k-Means Clustering, and Agglomerative Clustering. Compared to traditional analysis methods, our findings unveil the remarkable ability of these methods to differentiate between healthy, diseased and in an intermediate state chestnuts, even when concealed beneath the peel. This research not only advances our understanding of quality control in chestnut production but also highlights the potential of THz imaging in agricultural applications.

Physics-driven learning for digital holographic microscopy

Rémi Kieber, Luc Froehly, Maxime Jacquot

Université de Franche-Comté, CNRS, Institut FEMTO-ST, 25000 Besançon, France

Deep neural networks based on physics-driven learning make it possible to train neural networks with a reduced data set and also have the potential to transfer part of the numerical computations to optical processing. The aim of this work is to develop the first deep holographic microscope device incorporating a hybrid neural network based on the plane-wave angular spectrum method for dynamic image autofocusing in microscopy applications.

Deep Classification from scattered light

Photonic Stochastic Emergent Learning (PSEL) represents an innovative paradigm rooted in mathematical brain modelling and emergent memories. In this study, we explore the intersection of these concepts to address memory storage and classification tasks. Leveraging optical computing principles and random projections, PSEL constructs memory representations from the inherent randomness in nature. Specifically, we select a set of highly similar random states generated by coherent light scattered from a diffusive medium. Classification is performed by organizing the memories spatially into different classes and comparing inputs to those stored memories. The results demonstrate the efficacy of PSEL in memory construction and parallel classification, emphasizing its potential applications in high-performance computing and artificial intelligence systems.
