Abstract

This paper describes a scalable, highly connected, 3D optoelectronic neural system that uses free-space optical interconnects with silicon-VLSI based hybrid optoelectronic circuits. The system design uses an efficient combination of pulse-width modulating optoelectronic neurons and pulse-amplitude modulating electronic synapses. A prototype system is built and applied to a simple classification problem. An optoelectronic testbench for evaluating learning algorithms suitable for the optoelectronic architecture is implemented. Future directions for the optoelectronic architecture are also discussed; these include limited interconnect neural systems and parallel weight loading that allow receptive fields of arbitrary sizes and connection multiplexing to be achieved.
