At present, with the prosperity of AI, the data to be processed is exploding, and the demand for computing power is increasing exponentially. Although the integration of electronic chips is getting higher and higher and their capabilities are getting stronger and stronger, the composition essence of basic logical operations performed by electronic switches cannot be changed, and the integration density is gradually approaching the limit due to the constraints of basic electronic physical characteristics. Facing the obstacles of power consumption wall and speed wall, AI will increasingly be unable to meet the demand for computing power in the continuous evolution of AI. In this regard, Xu Jin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a senior expert of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, said that it is necessary to accelerate the development of chip optoelectronic integration design.

Xu Jin said that AI calculation contains a large number of matrix operations with high computational power requirements but relatively simple algorithms, which can be completed instantly by using light through adjustable medium transmission mode, and the energy consumption is almost negligible. Currently, it has been explored to realize AI calculation through photoelectric hybrid design mode, and optical calculation is expected to solve the urgent demand for big data processing in AI field to a certain extent.

In 2023, the Oxford University team introduced an integrated photon-electronic hardware, which can perform high-dimensional data processing, meet the needs of continuous upgrading of AI tasks, and can increase parallel computing capability by hundreds to thousands of times. A photoelectric fusion chip developed by Tsinghua University has more than 3000 times the computing power of the current high-performance commercial chip and 4 million times the energy efficiency in complex intelligent vision tasks. Internationally, with the release of the achievements of major universities and industrial giants such as Microsoft and IBM in the field of optical computing, the recognition of optical computing technology has gradually increased.

However, Xu Jin said that this is a brand-new industry with a wide range of specialties and high theoretical and technical requirements. The global photonic technology and industry are in their infancy, and China and the world are basically on the same starting line. Although the development potential is huge, there are still many problems in the current development. To this end, Xu Jin suggested that the relevant central units should take the lead in focusing on the development prospects and directions of optoelectronic fusion and optoelectronic hybrid computing technology, and concentrate the country's top expert teams in computer science, microelectronics, photonics, microwave, optics, and mathematics., Jointly carry out planning and demonstration, establish development technology routes, and put forward development decision-making suggestions.

At the same time, it is necessary to incorporate optoelectronic integration and optoelectronic hybrid computing into the national development strategy. When conditions are met, large-scale comprehensive central enterprises or relevant national laboratories in the electronics field will lead organizations to integrate and form development clusters of industry, academia, and research, and carry out collaborative innovation. Tackling key problems.
