Abstract

We report on a spiking flip-flop memory in Resonant Tunneling Diode (RTD) photonic-electronic neurons, whereby the system response switches fast and controllably between spiking and quiescent dynamics upon the arrival of set and reset input pulses. Neuron-like functionalities, such as fast spike rate-coding, are also reported.
