Abstract
A device including a programmable photonic processor configured to operate on optical pulses to perform computational sequences of linear operations and nonlinear operations each based on a parametric nonlinear optical process; a memory coupled to the processor and programmable to store or accumulate the analog optical pulse amplitudes of the optical pulses; a control circuit controlling the transfer of the analog optical pulse amplitudes between the processor and the memory according to a computation schedule; and wherein information is multiplexed in time by encoding the information onto the analog optical pulse amplitudes of the optical pulses occupying time bins at a fixed repetition rate such that the optical pulses, occupying different ones of the time bins, can be made to interact using appropriate temporal delays.
