🔬 Photonic Neural Network Implementation

Authentic Optical Physics Simulation

The photonic component uses real optical physics equations implemented in CUDA-accelerated PyTorch:

1. Snell's Law Refraction

def apply_snells_law(self, incident_angle, n1, n2):
    """Apply Snell's law: n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)"""
    sin_theta1 = torch.sin(incident_angle)
    sin_theta2 = (n1 / n2) * sin_theta1
    
    # Handle total internal reflection
    sin_theta2 = torch.clamp(sin_theta2, -1.0, 1.0)
    refracted_angle = torch.asin(sin_theta2)
    return refracted_angle

2. Beer-Lambert Absorption

def beer_lambert_absorption(self, intensity, absorption_coeff, path_length):
    """Beer-Lambert law: I = I₀ * exp(-α * L)"""
    return intensity * torch.exp(-absorption_coeff * path_length)

3. Fresnel Reflection

def fresnel_reflection(self, n1, n2):
    """Fresnel equations for reflection coefficient"""
    R = ((n1 - n2) / (n1 + n2))**2
    T = 1.0 - R  # Transmission coefficient
    return R, T

4. Optical Interference

def optical_interference(self, wave1, wave2, phase_difference):
    """Two-wave interference pattern"""
    amplitude = torch.sqrt(wave1**2 + wave2**2 + 2*wave1*wave2*torch.cos(phase_difference))
    return amplitude

Wavelength Spectrum Processing

The model processes the full electromagnetic spectrum from UV to IR:

WAVELENGTH_RANGES = {
    'UV': (200e-9, 400e-9),      # Ultraviolet
    'Visible': (400e-9, 700e-9), # Visible light  
    'NIR': (700e-9, 1400e-9),    # Near-infrared
    'IR': (1400e-9, 3000e-9)     # Infrared
}

def process_spectrum(self, input_tensor):
    """Process input across electromagnetic spectrum"""
    spectral_outputs = []
    
    for band, (λ_min, λ_max) in self.WAVELENGTH_RANGES.items():
        # Calculate refractive index for wavelength
        n = self.sellmeier_equation(λ_min, λ_max)
        
        # Process with wavelength-dependent optics
        output = self.optical_ray_interaction(input_tensor, n, λ_min)

    for pauli_op in [self.pauli_x, self.pauli_y, self.pauli_z]:
        expectation = torch.real(torch.conj(quantum_state) @ pauli_op @ quantum_state)
        expectations.append(expectation)
    
    return torch.stack(expectations)
