Research abstract
We propose the novel approach of using chaotic micro-resonators on photonic integrated circuits to reduce the size, weight, and power (SWaP) and increase the stability of the random basis generation portion of a compressive sensing system with the goal of enabling a large bandwidth radio frequency (RF) receiver while reducing the requirements on data capture. Our proposed technical and programmatic approach is tailored to the scope of Phases I, II STTR programs, and the proposed program provides phased risk mitigation and design verification work leading to a Phase II deliverable low-SWaP compressive sensing prototype that operates at >40-GHz bandwidths with critical elements miniaturized onto a photonic integrated circuit enabled by the innovative use of chaotic resonators and neural networks.
