Abstract

Fast spiking Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser neurons are used to reveal neuromorphic object edge information in digital images. Input integration and thresholding are used in tandem with convolution to create a photonic spiking node with high prospects for convolutional neural networks and computer vision.
