Abstract

We investigate experimentally the performance of an ultrafast photonic reservoir computer based on an off-the-shelf 1550nm-VCSEL subject to optical injection and delayed optical feedback, creating an artificial network of hundreds of GHz-speed neurons. We also demonstrate successful operation in different complex processing tasks.
