Multiplexed all-optical permutation operations using a reconfigurable diffractive optical network
arXiv:2402.02397 · doi:10.1002/lpor.202400238
Abstract
Large-scale and high-dimensional permutation operations are important for various applications in e.g., telecommunications and encryption. Here, we demonstrate the use of all-optical diffractive computing to execute a set of high-dimensional permutation operations between an input and output field-of-view through layer rotations in a diffractive optical network. In this reconfigurable multiplexed material designed by deep learning, every diffractive layer has four orientations: 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. Each unique combination of these rotatable layers represents a distinct rotation state of the diffractive design tailored for a specific permutation operation. Therefore, a K-layer rotatable diffractive material is capable of all-optically performing up to 4^K independent permutation operations. The original input information can be decrypted by applying the specific inverse permutation matrix to output patterns, while applying other inverse operations will lead to loss of information. We demonstrated the feasibility of this reconfigurable multiplexed diffractive design by approximating 256 randomly selected permutation matrices using K=4 rotatable diffractive layers. We also experimentally validated this reconfigurable diffractive network using terahertz radiation and 3D-printed diffractive layers, providing a decent match to our numerical results. The presented rotation-multiplexed diffractive processor design is particularly useful due to its mechanical reconfigurability, offering multifunctional representation through a single fabrication process.
