On-chip Passive Photonic Reservoir Computing with Integrated Optical Readout

Abstract

Photonic reservoir computing is a recent bioinspired paradigm for signal processing. Despite first successes, the paradigm still faces challenges. We address some of these challenges and introduce our approaches to solve them. In detail, we discuss how integrated reservoirs can be scaled up by injecting multiple copies of the input. Further we introduce a new hardware-friendly training method for integrated optical readouts.
