Optical Fiber Communication Conference 2024

Our team member, Petar Atanasijeviฤ‡, showcased our work on Fabry-Perot LD-based all-optical sigmoid activation functions for neuromorphic photonic applications. The adaptivity of these activation functions, driven by the underlying physics of the laserโ€™s dispersive bistability, was highlighted during the presentation. These results represent a significant milestone for the ORCA-lab project, bringing us closer to realizing a functional Reservoir Computer architecture.
