All-optical pattern matching system of 42 Gbit/s 4-bit BPSK signals and its demonstration for optoelectronic firewall by Qihan ZHANG, Xiaoxue GONG, Rui LI, Xin LI, Shanguo HUANG, Lei GUO

“…To achieve the all-optical pattern matching for optoelectronic firewall which could process high-speed optical signals efficiently, a BPSK all-optical pattern recognition system with the data rate up to 42 Gbit/s was proposed and demonstrated by employing the commercial optical components.First, the input BPSK sequence was converted to a positive and a negative IM signals by adding in-phase and inverse-phase coherent carriers, respectively.Then the converted IM signals were coupled into time delay lines and optical AND logic gates implemented by HNLF to achieve the optical correlation operation.In the end, a high-level optical pulse indicating the pattern matched result was output.The numerical simulation and the experiment results demonstrate that the proposed system can recognize a 4-bit target BPSK sequence from an 8-bit 42 Gbit/s BPSK input sequence, which proves the feasibility of the all-optical pattern matching of BPSK signals and can be applied to high-speed optoelectronic firewall.…”

Any-to-any voice conversion using representation separation auto-encoder by Zhihua JIAN, Zixu ZHANG

“…In view of the problem that it was difficult to separate speaker personality characteristics from semantic content information in any-to-any voice conversion under non-parallel corpus, which led to unsatisfied performance, a voice conversion method, called RSAE-VC (representation separation auto-encoder voice conversion) was proposed.The speaker’s personality characteristics in the speech were regarded as time invariant and the content information as time variant, and the instance normalization and activation guidance layer were used in the encoder to separate them from each other.Then the content information of the source speech and the personality characteristics of the target one was utilized to synthesize the converted speech by the decoder.The experimental results demonstrate that RSAE-VC has an average reduction of 3.11% and 2.41% in Mel cepstral distance and root mean square error of pitch frequency respectively, and has an increasement of 5.22% in MOS and 8.45% in ABX, compared with the AGAIN-VC (activation guidance and adaptive instance normalization voice conversion) method.In RSAE-VC, self-content loss is applied to make the converted speech reserve more content information, and self-speaker loss is used to separate the speaker personality characteristics from the speech better, which ensure the speaker personality characteristics be left in the content information as little as possible, and the conversion performance is improved.…”
