High Density Photonic Reservoir Computing using Optical Fiber and Polymer Waveguide

Abstract

We present a demo system of FPGA-driven time-delay photonic reservoir computer. The architecture of the reservoir is based on a high bandwidth density optical interconnect technologies using VCSEL and photodiode chips with multi-mode optical fiber, and specially designed polymer waveguides. Using the demo system, we also present the results on voice utterance dataset. This reservoir is promising for a power-efficient board-integrated photonic neural network.
