An optical diffractive processing unit includes input nodes, output nodes; and neurons. The neurons are connected to the input nodes through optical diffractions. Weights of connection strength of the neurons are determined based on diffractive modulation. Each optoelectronic neuron is configured to perform an optical field summation of weighted inputs and generate a unit output by applying a complex activation to an optical field occurring naturally in a photoelectronic conversion. Each neuron is a programmable device.

The present disclosure discloses a nonlinear all-optical deep-learning system and method with multistage space-frequency domain modulation. The system includes an optical input module, configured to convert input information to optical information, a multistage space-frequency domain modulation module, configured to perform multistage space-frequency domain modulation on the optical information generated by the optical input module so as to generate modulated optical information, and an information acquisition module, configured to transform the modulated optical information onto a Fourier plane or an image plane, and to acquire the transformed optical information so as to generate processed optical information.

A method and an apparatus for coded focal stack photographing are provided. The method includes: changing a focal surface within a single exposure time and per-pixel coding a sensor readout for each focal surface to obtain a modulation function M(y,z), where y&#x2282;{y,y} is a two-dimensional spatial coordinate and z is a depth coordinate of a latent three-dimensional focal stack F(y,z); coding the latent three-dimensional focal stack F(y,z) into a two-dimensional sensor image I(y) by using the modulation function M(y,z); and achieving one or more of a programmable non-planar focal surface imaging, an interleaved focal stack imaging, and a compressive focal stack imaging, based on the modulation functions M(y,z) and the two-dimensional sensor image I(y).
