Fabry-Perot Lasers as Enablers for Parallel Reservoir Computing

We introduce the use of Fabry-Perot (FP) lasers as potential neuromorphic computing machines with parallel processing capabilities. With optical injection between a master FP laser and slave under feedback we demonstrate for scaling up power at longitudinal mode granularity perform real-time signal equalization in 25 Gbaud intensity modulation direct detection communication systems. improvement classification performance number nodes increases capability simultaneous arbitrary data streams. Extensive numerical simulations show that to 8 modes typical can be leveraged so enhance performance.
