Microring Based Reservoir Computing

Microring-based reservoir computing leverages the nonlinear optical properties of microring resonators to perform complex computations, primarily focusing on time-series prediction and other pattern recognition tasks. Current research emphasizes optimizing the design and operation of these resonators, including exploring the effects of various nonlinearities (e.g., thermo-optic and free-carrier effects) and utilizing techniques like wavelength-division multiplexing to enhance computational capacity and enable parallel processing of multiple tasks. This approach offers a potential pathway towards highly efficient and compact photonic computing systems, particularly for applications requiring real-time processing of large datasets.
