Neuromorphic Photonics - Complex Lasers: from control to neuromorphic computation

Thu, 27.04.2023, EPFL Lausanne

We invite to a workshop on


Neuromorphic Photonics

EPFL and Swissphotonics are organizing a two-day workshop on Neuromorphic Photonics to take place at EPFL in Lausanne Switzerland on 27-28.4.2023. Usually these workshops attract an audience of about 40-60 people with a strong industry participation and are a good occasion for stimulating discussions. Whereas the first day deals with Complex Lasers, the second day is devoted to Optical Computing

Day 1 - Complex Lasers: from control to neuromorphic computation 
Day one of this two-day workshop focuses on lasers. We will cover theory and experimental evidence relating to individual lasers and coupled modes in nanolasers. We will also discuss complex laser networks and laser controls, and how this may be used to implement photonic neuromorphic computing. The first day is organized by Riccardo Sapienza (Imperial College London) and Kirsten Moselund (EPFL and PSI) in the framework of our joint project CORAL

Cost
The participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory, separately for the two days!
