Abstract

We report a spiking artificial optoelectronic neuron based on a resonant tunnelling diode (RTD) coupled to a photodetector (receiver) and a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL, transmitter). We experimentally realize this O/E/O system, and demonstrate optical spiking with a well-defined, adjustable excitability threshold.
