These systems aim to leverage spatial effects to enhance high-speed image classification. Unlike conventional models, which typically rely on one-dimensional approximations, the model developed at Femto-ST integrates a second spatial dimension. This allows for the simulation of transverse optical effects\u2014such as diffraction and amplification\u2014which are critical for understanding the behavior of large-area devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The model also accounts for optical signal injection, analyzing various spatial and temporal profiles at high data rates. These simulations\u2014run using high-performance computing resources\u2014demonstrated strong agreement with experimental results and provided new insights into the spatiotemporal dynamics of lasers for neuromorphic computing applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond simulation work, Mladen collaborated with PhD students on related experimental studies. This close interaction between modeling and experimental efforts proved mutually beneficial and has led to an ongoing collaboration, with a joint scientific publication currently in preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This research stay further strengthens ORCA-LAB\u2019s commitment to international collaboration and innovation in the field of photonic neural networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the Erasmus+ mobility program, our colleague Mladen Banovi\u0107 completed a research stay at the prestigious Femto-ST Institute in Besan\u00e7on, France, working within the Optics Group under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Brunner.
