Impact of Free-carrier Nonlinearities on Silicon Microring-based Reservoir Computing
This addresses performance optimization for photonic reservoir computing systems, but it is incremental as it focuses on specific nonlinearities in a known setup.
The study quantified how thermo-optic and free-carrier effects impact time-delay reservoir computing in silicon microring resonators, identifying pump power and frequency detuning ranges that achieve NMSE less than 0.05 for the NARMA-10 task.
We quantify the impact of thermo-optic and free-carrier effects on time-delay reservoir computing using a silicon microring resonator. We identify pump power and frequency detuning ranges with NMSE less than 0.05 for the NARMA-10 task depending on the time constants of the two considered effects.
