Abstract

En 中文
Recently optoelectronic synapses generating light-driven electrical memories have played a vital role in the neuromorphic computing of visual perception. However, all the optoelectronic synapses demonstrate photoelectric conversion. Peripheral circuits are used for contact photocurrent measurement, leading to significant energy consumption and impeding the evolution of optical wireless communication. It is crucial to develop noncontact neuromorphic visual perception based on light-driven photonic memories. Herein, we report all-photonic artificial synapses based on photochromic perovskites. Triggered by ultraviolet and visible light pulses, cesium lead iodide bromine induces a structural disorder. Optical transmittance changes induced by the disorder last after the pulses are gone. Next, the photonic memories are propagated in the air and processed by a recurrent neural network. The accuracy of binary image recognition is instantly stabilized at 1.0, and accuracy above 0.8 after 7 epochs is achieved in the recognition of digitals from 0 to 9. The all-photonic synapses realize remote perception with zero in-situ energy consumption and enable artificial sensory systems with low-power computation, remote control, and ultrahigh propagation speed. Optoelectronic synapses are key to artificial visual perception systems based on neuromorphic computing, but they typically rely on photoelectric conversion and peripheral circuits that are energy consuming and prevent optical wireless communication. Here, all-photonic artificial synapses with light-driven optical transmittance memories are fabricated based on photochromic CsPbIBr2 perovskite thin films.
