We study a neuromorphic circuit composed of a nano resonant tunneling diode (RTD) operated in the excitable regime, where the diode generates, when triggered, an all-or-nothing electrical response pulse. This pulse is fed into a nano laser diode (LD), which in turn emits an optical pulse that is re-injected with time delay back into the RTD. Our theoretical analysis of this time-delayed opto-electronic nonlinear system describes how such neuron-like excitability can lead to sustained periodic pulsations due to the time-delayed feedback. We derive a bifurcation diagram through numerical continuation, unveiling the rich dynamics of the system. Furthermore, direct numerical simulations of the RTD-LD reveal emerging solitons that may serve as memory for information. Opto-electronic neurons like the RTD-LD are particularly interesting because they allow for fast computations at very low energy consumption and are therefore promising candidates for new computational architectures that mimic the brain.
