Optical Computing Machine

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical computer having high scalability and capable of reducing noise. This optical computer is characterized by including: an input layer which accepts an input signal as a computer; a reservoir layer which responds to a signal input from the input layer, and in which using a plurality of degenerate optical parametric oscillator (DOPO) pulses of a DOPO that are generated by an optical phase-sensitive amplifier (PSA) based on pump light as nodes, a connection relation between the nodes is determined by a measurement feedback method or a method equivalent to the measurement feedback method; and an output layer which outputs an output signal based on the respective responses of the plurality of DOPO pulses to the input signal from the reservoir layer.
