Reservoir computing with optofluidic nonlinearity and short-term memory
Chengkuan Gao, Prabhav Gaur, Shimon Rubin, Yeshaiahu Fainman · 2023
We report a novel Reservoir Computing (RC) processor exploiting nonlinearity and memory effects in a thin liquid film cladding integrated with a Si-Photonic device. We report the multiphysics processes resulting in a Thermocapillary (TC) effect that serve as a source of nonlinear response and a short-term memory at the same time.
