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