| Summary: | In the current environment of the explosive growth in the amount of information, the demand for efficient information-processing methods has become increasingly urgent. We propose and numerically investigate a delay-based high-speed reservoir computing (RC) using a circular-side hexagonal resonator (CSHR) microlaser with optical feedback and injection. In this RC system, a smaller time interval can be obtained between virtual nodes, and a higher information processing rate (<i>R</i><sub>inf</sub>) can also be achieved, due to the ultra-short photon lifetime and wide bandwidth of the CSHR microlaser. The performance of the RC system was tested with three benchmark tasks (Santa-Fe chaotic time series prediction task, the 10th order Nonlinear Auto Regressive Moving Average task and Nonlinear channel equalization task). The results show that the system achieves high-accuracy prediction, even with a small number of virtual nodes (25), and is more feasible, with lower requirements for arbitrary waveform generators at the same rate. Significantly, at the high rate of 10 Gbps, low error predictions can be achieved over a large parameter space (e.g., frequency detuning in the interval 80 GHz, injected strength in the range of 0.9 variation and 2% range for feedback strength). Interestingly, it has the potential to achieve <i>R</i><sub>inf</sub> of 25 Gbps under technical advancements. Additionally, its shorter external cavity length and cubic micron scale size make it an excellent choice for large-scale photonic integration reservoir computing.
