Multilayer Photonic Spiking Neural Networks: Generalized Supervised Learning Algorithm and Network Optimization

We propose a generalized supervised learning algorithm for multilayer photonic spiking neural networks (SNNs) by combining the spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) rule and the gradient descent mechanism. A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with an embedded saturable absorber (VCSEL-SA) is...
