Microring resonators (MRRs) are promising devices for time-delay photonic
reservoir computing, but the impact of the different physical effects taking
place in the MRRs on the reservoir computing performance is yet to be fully
understood. We numerically analyze the impact of linear losses as well as
thermo-optic and free-carrier effects relaxation times on the prediction error
of the time-series task NARMA-10. We demonstrate the existence of three
regions, defined by the input power and the frequency detuning between the
optical source and the microring resonance, that reveal the cavity transition
from linear to nonlinear regimes. One of these regions offers very low error in
time-series prediction under relatively low input power and number of nodes
while the other regions either lack nonlinearity or become unstable. This study
provides insight into the design of the MRR and the optimization of its
physical properties for improving the prediction performance of time-delay
reservoir computing.

Effects of cavity nonlinearities and linear losses on silicon  microring-based reservoir computing

We quantify the impact of thermo-optic and free-carrier effects on time-delay
reservoir computing using a silicon microring resonator. We identify pump power
and frequency detuning ranges with NMSE less than 0.05 for the NARMA-10 task
depending on the time constants of the two considered effects.
