Abstract
In this paper, an alternative approach for an integrated photonic reservoir computer is presented. The fundamental building block of the reservoir is based on the nonlinear response of a ring resonator, where effects such as two-photon absorption and nonlinear refractive index variation were taken into consideration. In order to investigate the validity of this scheme, the response of a single add/drop micro ring was simulated through a traveling wave numerical model, and the parameters that affect the nonlinearity of the response were identified. Based on these results, a matrix of randomly interconnected resonators was utilized in order to classify different high-bit-rate digital patterns. Simulations confirmed that the proposed system could offer a classification error of 0.5% for bit rates up to 160 Gbps and for 8-bit-length digital words.
