Reservoir Computing using Quantum Dot Lasers — •Huifang Dong, Lina Jaurigue, and Kathy Lüdge — Institute of Physik, Technische Universität Ilmenau, Weimarer Str. 32, 98684 Ilmenau, Germany.

Time-multiplexed reservoir computing is a machine-learning approach which is well suited for implementation using semiconductor lasers subject to optical feedback. In such a delay-based setup the feedback has two important roles; it directly influences the memory of the system and it generates the high dimensional transient dynamics needed for good computational performance [1]. However, commonly used and commercially available quantum well semiconductor lasers are dynamically very sensitive to optical feedback, which can make the implementation of such systems difficult. Implementation and on-chip integration of optical reservoir computing become feasible with quantum dot lasers, as they emit at the telecommunication wavelength and are less sensitive to unwanted reflections [2]. Using typical benchmark tasks for time series prediction we show that quantum dot lasers show good computing performance that can be further optimized by proper delay time tuning.
