Abstract
We present here recent advances in the use of
a small network of nonlinear micro-resonators integrated
on a Silicon chip as a reservoir computer. We provide
numerical evidence that this novel photonic integrated
circuit can perform binary-type tasks (e.g.: the XOR task
or multi-bit header recognition task) at bitrate of 20 Gb/s
with a performance level adequate for telecom
applications. We analyze the impact of key operational
parameters (e.g.: optical power injected) and topological
properties of the network on the level of performance of
the proposed architecture. Finally, we will compare the
performance between this new chip with a previous
generation of passive reservoir [1] realized with splitters
and combiners without any internal nonlinearity.
