摘要Optical reservoir computing(ORC)offers advantages,such as high computational speed,low power consumption,and high training speed,so it has become a competitive candidate for time series analysis in recent years.The current ORC employs single-dimensional encoding for computation,which limits input resolution and introduces extraneous information due to interactions between optical dimensions during propagation,thus constraining performance.Here,we propose complex-value encoding-based optoelectronic reservoir computing(CE-ORC),in which the amplitude and phase of the input optical field are both modulated to improve the input resolution and prevent the influence of extraneous information on computation.In addition,scale factors in the amplitude encoding can fine-tune the optical reservoir dynamics for better performance.We built a CE-ORC processing unit with an iteration rate of up to∼1.2 kHz using high-speed communication interfaces and field programmable gate arrays(FPGAs)and demonstrated the excellent performance of CE-ORC in two time series prediction tasks.In comparison with the conventional ORC for the Mackey–Glass task,CE-ORC showed a decrease in normalized mean square error by∼75%.Furthermore,we applied this method in a weather time series analysis and effectively predicted the temperature and humidity within a range of 24 h.

摘要We utilize three parallel reservoir computers using semiconductor lasers with optical feedback and light injection to model radar probe signals with delays.Three radar probe signals are generated by driving lasers constructed by a threeelement laser array with self-feedback.The response lasers are implemented also by a three-element lase array with both delay-time feedback and optical injection,which are utilized as nonlinear nodes to realize the reservoirs.We show that each delayed radar probe signal can be predicted well and to synchronize with its corresponding trained reservoir,even when parameter mismatches exist between the response laser array and the driving laser array.Based on this,the three synchronous probe signals are utilized for ranging to three targets,respectively,using Hilbert transform.It is demonstrated that the relative errors for ranging can be very small and less than 0.6%.Our findings show that optical reservoir computing provides an effective way for applications of target ranging.

摘要Graphene oxide,as a 2D material with nanometer thickness,offers ultra-high mobility,chaotic properties,and low cost.These make graphene oxide memristors beneficial for reservoir computing(RC)networks.In this study,continuous-wave(CW)laser processing is used to reduce chaotic graphene oxide(CGO)films,resulting in the non-volatile storage capability based on the reduced chaotic graphene oxide(rCGO)films.Laser power significantly impacts the characteristics of the rCGO memristor.Material characterization indicates that laser radiation can effectively reduce the oxygen content in CGO films.With optimized laser power,the rCGO memristor achieves a large ratio at 18 mW laser power.Benefiting from the short-term mem-ory characteristics,distinct conductive states are achieved,which are further utilized to construct RC networks.With a third con-trol probe,the rCGO memristor can express rich reservoir states,demonstrating accuracy in predicting the Hénon map with an NRMSE below 0.3.These findings provide the potential for developing flexible RC networks based on graphene oxide memris-tors via laser processing.

摘要Artificial neural networks with internal dynamics exhibit remarkable capability in processing information.Reservoir computing(RC)is a canonical example that features rich computing expressivity and compatibility with physical implementations for enhanced efficiency.Recently,a new RC paradigm known as next generation reservoir computing(NGRC)further improves expressivity but compromises its physical openness,posing challenges for realizations in physical systems.Here we demonstrate optical NGRC with computations performed by light scattering through disordered media.In contrast to conventional optical RC implementations,we directly and solely drive our optical reservoir with time-delayed inputs.Much like digital NGRC that relies on polynomial features of delayed inputs,our optical reservoir also implicitly generates these polynomial features for desired functionalities.By leveraging the domain knowledge of the reservoir inputs,we show that the optical NGRC not only predicts the short-term dynamics of the low-dimensional Lorenz63 and large-scale Kuramoto-Sivashinsky chaotic time series,but also replicates their long-term ergodic properties.Optical NGRC shows superiority in shorter training length and fewer hyperparameters compared to conventional optical RC based on scattering media,while achieving better forecasting performance.Our optical NGRC framework may inspire the realization of NGRC in other physical RC systems,new applications beyond time-series processing,and the development of deep and parallel architectures broadly.

摘要The artificial intelligence era has witnessed a surge of demand in detection and recognition of biometric information,with applications from financial services to information security.However,the physical separation of sensing,memory,and computational units in traditional biometric systems introduces severe decision latency and operational power consumption.Herein,an in-sensor reservoir computing(RC)system based on MoTe2/BaTiO3optical synapses is proposed to detect and recognize the faces and fingerprints information.In optical operation mode,the device exhibits low energy consumption of 41.2 pJ,long retention time of 3×104s,high endurance of 104switching cycles,and multifunctional sensing-memory-computing visual simulations.The light intensity-dependent optical sensing and multilevel optical storage properties are exploited to achieve sunburned eye simulation and image memory functions.These nonlinear,multi-state,short-term storage,and long-term memory characteristics make MoTe2/BaTiO3optical synapses a suitable reservoir layer and readout layer,with short-term properties to project complicated input features into high-dimensional output features,and long-term properties to be used as a readout layer,thus further building an in-sensor RC system for face and fingerprint recognition.Under the 40%Gaussian noise environment,the system achieves 91.73%recognition accuracy for face and 97.50%for fingerprint images,and experimental verification is carried out,which shows potential in practical applications.These results provide a strategy for constructing a high-performance in-sensor RC system for high-accuracy biometric identification.

摘要Neuromorphic photonic systems offer significant advantages for parallel,high-speed,and low-power computing,among which spiking neural networks emerge as a powerful bio-inspired alternative.This study demonstrates,to our knowledge,a novel approach to all-optical spiking processing and reservoir computing using passive silicon microring resonators(MRRs).A key innovation is the demonstration of deterministic optical spiking and spectro-temporal coincidence detection without the need for pump-and-probe methods,simplifying the architecture and improving efficiency.By leveraging injection of excitatory optical signals at negative wavelength detuning relative to the MRR’s cold resonances,the system delivers prompt and high-contrast optical spiking events,essential for effective chip-integrated photonic spiking neural networks.Building on this,a photonic spiking reservoir computer is implemented using a single silicon MRR.The system encodes input information through a novel spectro-temporal scheme and classifies the Iris-Flower dataset with 92%accuracy.This performance is achieved with just 48 reservoir virtual nodes,averaging only three spikes per flower sample,hence highlighting the system’s efficiency and sparsity.These findings unlock novel neuromorphic photonic frameworks with MRRs,enabling sparse all-optical spiking processing and reservoir computing,particularly promising to be adapted in future coupled MRR structures and with binary output weights for light-enabled edge computing and sensing applications.

摘要Memristors have been emerging as promising candidates for computing systems in post-Moore applications,particularly electrochemical metallizationbased memristors,which are poised to play a crucial role in neuromorphic computing and machine learning.These devices are favored for their high integration density,low power consumption,rapid switching speed,and significant on/off ratio.Despite advancements in various materials,achieving adequate electrical performance—characterized by threshold switching(TS)behavior,spontaneous reset,and low off-state resistance—remains challenging due to the limitations in conductance filament control within the nanoscale resistive switching layer.In this study,we introduce an efficient method to control the ZrO2 crystallinity for tunable volatility memristor by establishing the filament paths through a simple thermal treatment process in a single oxide layer.The effect of ZrO2 crystallinity to create localized filament paths for enhancing Ag migration and improving TS behavior is also investigated.In contrast to its amorphous counterpart,crystallized ZrO2 volatile memristor,treated by rapid thermal annealing,demonstrates a steep switching slope(0.21 mV dec–1),a high resistance state(25 GΩ),and forming-free characteristics.The superior volatile performance is attributed to localized conductive filaments along lowenergy pathways,such as dislocations and grain boundaries.By coupling with enhanced volatile switching behavior,we believe that the volatility is finely tuned to function as short-term memory for reservoir computing,making it particularly well-suited for tasks such as audio and image recognition.

摘要Physical reservoir computing(PRC)offers an effective computing paradigm for spatiotemporal information processing with low training costs.Achieving controllable regulation over the temporal dynamics of devices to meet the computational demands of each physical layer is a key challenge for realizing highperformance PRC chips.Here,we proposed a homogeneously integrated all-PRC with tunable temporal dynamics.Utilizing the modulation effect of oxygen vacancies on the energy barrier of the pentacene/ZnO interface,shortterm memory,and long-term memory switching characteristics have been achieved within the same device structure.Furthermore,by altering the gate voltage,the reservoir exhibited a broad range ratio of temporal characteristics(>102),which provides the potential to map information with different temporal characteristics.Inspired by the process of encoding and reconstructing spatiotemporal information in the human visual system,a biomimetic obstacle recognition system has been constructed to assist visually impaired individuals in walking,demonstrating excellent accuracy in obstacle types(100%)and distances(97.2%)recognition.This work offers a promising avenue for the development of an integrated PRC system with multi-timescale information processing capability.
