Opto-magnonic reservoir computing coupling nonlinear interfered spin wave and visible light switching

Physical reservoir computing is a promising approach to realize high-performance artificial intelligence systems utilizing physical devices. Recently, it has been experimentally found that nonlinear interfered spin wave multi-detection shows excellent performance for processing nonlinear time-series data due to its outstanding features: nonlinearity, short-term memory, and the ability to map in high dimensional space. However, said performance is considerably inferior to reservoir computing utilizing an optical circuit with a large volume. Herein, we develop reservoir computing with nonlinear interfered spin wave coupled with light switching, namely opto-magnonic reservoir computing. The spin wave was modulated through a crystal field transition that occurred in two different Fe3+ sites of Y3Fe5O12 by visible light switching, and it was found that the spin wave modulated by visible light switching dramatically reduced normalized mean square errors to 4.96 × 10−3, 0.163, and 3.66 × 10−5 for NARMA2, NARMA10, and second-order nonlinear dynamical equation tasks. Said excellent performance results from the strong nonlinearity caused by chaos and large memory capacity induced by reservoir states diversified by visible light switching.
