Underlying Framework of All-optical Controlled Synaptic Devices for Neuromorphic Computing

Abstract

Neuromorphic computing, using artificial synaptic devices, mimics the structure and function of biological neural networks, offering a solution to the von Neumann bottleneck for the next-generation of artificial intelligence. All-optical controlled synapses enable bidirectional modulation of conductivity through light pulses for both optical writing and optical erasing of information, crucial for hardware breakthroughs in neuromorphic computing. A scalable and replicable design framework for all-optical controlled synaptic devices could play a pivotal role in advancing neuromorphic computing for a new era of artificial intelligence.
