Abstract
A synaptic device is fundamental for memory and learning functions of neural networks. In this work, we demonstrated a GST (Ge2Sb2Te5)-based microring synapse with nonvolatile reconfigurable characteristics. The device shows bidirectional weight modulation during unidirectional crystallization or amorphization of GST, simulating long-term depression (LTD) and long-term potentiation (LTP). In addition, we adopted an anti-resonance pump scheme to reduce the fluctuations in pump energy coupled into the device to less than 12%. This scheme significantly enhances the programming precision of the microring synapse, achieving 24 resolvable states over 15 cycles. This work holds promise for laying the foundation for novel, to the best of our knowledge, photonic computing architectures and provides possibilities for the implementation of vision and adaptive optical neural networks that rely on bidirectional plasticity.
期刊介绍：
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
