SINABSE

In order to meet the increasing capacity requirements of Big Data applications and the associated energy demand of artificial intelligence, light-based neuromorphic processors - so-called photonic neural networks - are currently the focus of research.

The SINABSE research project investigates a globally unique, original approach to implementing such processors using optical frequency generation as an unexplored resource for all-optical data processing. The aim of the project is to implement a neuro-inspired, fibre-optic computational core and apply it in biophotonics for ultrafast spectroscopy and cameraless, microscopic object recognition and cell measurement. In this way, the project paves the way for computerless, intelligent sensor systems, microscopes, and diagnostic methods.
