Summary:
During the last decade, the novel information processing scheme of Reservoir Computing (RC) demonstrated exceptional performance when applied to challenging computational tasks. What makes RC unique within neuro-inspired information processing is its suitability for hardware implementation in analog and photonic systems. After highly successful realizations in delay systems, the scheme is now extended to other types of photonic networks. We will report on the latest advances made in the implementation of RC in spatially extended networks of semiconductor lasers. When successful, such systems have the potential of all-optical, standalone information processing with massive parallelism at 10s of GHz processing bandwidths.
