I received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Central Florida UCF, Orlando, FL, in May 2020. During my Ph.D. studies at UCF, I was with the CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics, as a graduate research assistant in Prof. Sasan Fathpour's IPES group, working on design, fabrication, and characterization of photonic integrated circuits focusing on thin-film lithium niobate devices such as electro-optic modulators, and second-order nonlinear optical frequency converters. From May to August 2019, I was with the imec USA, as a photonics research intern. In May...

Our group has previously developed a new architecture suitable for building large-scale MEMS-based silicon photonics optical switches with fast response time. Switches with the scale of 240x240 were demonstrated using our new architecture consisting of an in-plane optical crossbar network with MEMS-actuated couplers implemented on a silicon photonics platform. Increasing the integration level up to 1000x1000 switches and beyond can result in a significant overall optical loss. In a new project we are aiming to develop low-loss switch units in order to address the aforementioned issue by...

BPN949: Optoelectronic Reservoir Computing

Philip L. Jacobson
2022

As the demand for faster, more efficient training of neural networks continues to grow, specialized photonic hardware has emerged as a potential alternative to classical computers for AI applications. Reservoir Computing (RC), a lightweight alternative to computationally-intensive Recurrent Neural Networks, has been demonstrated to be possible using simple delay dynamical systems. We propose an optoelectronic implementation of this architecture through a Mach-Zehnder modulator driven by delayed feedback from a laser. We introduce a new optoelectronic scheme in which input data is first pre...
