A high-performance photonic reservoir, which utilizes injection locking of a semiconductor multimode laser (SML), will be developed. This innovative design allows for fully parallel and high-bandwidth operation at telecommunication wavelength. The output of this system is projected in space and imaged onto a digital micromirror device, which provides a readout and facilitates the hardware integration of programmable output weights. By using a highly multimodal semiconductor laser, injection locking enables a large number of modes to be simultaneously locked to the high frequency modulated injection laser that provides the input signal, resulting in high dimensionality of the reservoir. The hardware integration of programmable output weights enables the system to be optimized for specific tasks, improving performance and reducing power consumption.
