Abstract
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become a staple computing technique in many fields. Yet, they differ from classical computing hardware by taking a connectionist and parallel approach to computing and information processing. Here, we present a high performance, scalable, fully parallel, and autonomous PNN based on a large area vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (LA-VCSEL). We implement 300+ hardware nodes and train the network to perform up to 6-bit header recognition, XOR classification and digital to analog conversion. Moreover, we investigate the impact of different physical parameters, namely, injection wavelength, injection power, and bias current on performance, and link these parameters to the general computational measures of consistency and dimensionality.
