英文摘要： In this proposal, a widely studied optical vector-matrix multiplier is employed to realize high-speed and parallel MAC operation in an optical digital signal processing architecture. A synchronous driver module is studied for the multi-channel lasers and the photodetector array, the data are loaded into the VMM unit bit by bit to complete the signal encoding and decoding, then the data loading and information extraction can be realized. A plane photodetector is utilized to receive the VMM ouput signals, mutiple VMM units are parallel arranged or the system clock is multiplied, and the digital partition based preprocessing and postprocessing algorithms are optimized, then the channel and accuracy of the optical DSP system can be upgraded. Each laser and each optical modulator element are calibrated along the horizontal axis and the vertical axis respectively, the differences between the statistical measurements of detector responses and the set points are limited to a specific threshold, then the mapping relationship between a VMM core's input node and output node can be established. Signal generation, data buffering, smooth filter, and statistical analysis are performed on a series of pipeline stages, and a low-latency distributed parallel pipeline architecture is investigated to accomplish real-time calibration
