Photonic neuromorphic computing is of particular interest due to its significant potential for ultrahigh computing speed and energy efficiency. The advantage of photonic computing hardware lies in its ultrawide bandwidth and parallel processing utilizing inherent parallelism. Here, we demonstrate a scalable on-chip photonic implementation of a simplified recurrent neural network, called a reservoir computer, using an integrated planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology.
