چکیده
A simple optoelectronic circuit integrated monolithically in GaAs to implement sigmoidal neuron responses is presented. The circuit integrates a light-emitting diode with one or two transistors and one or two photodetectors. The design considerations for building arrays with densities of up to 10(4) cm(-2) are discussed.

Implementation and coupling of dynamic neurons through optoelectronics
In this work we describe experimental results regarding an optoelectronic implementation of a dynamic neuron model. The model is a variation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations, and it is implemented with linear optics and simple linear electronic feedback. The demonstration of dynamic features of the isolated neuron and of optical coupling between neurons is discussed, as well as the computationa...
متن کاملScaling Optoelectronic-VLSI Circuits into the 21st Century: A Technology Roadmap
Technologies now exist for implementing dense surface-normal optical interconnections for silicon CMOS VLSI using hybrid integration techniques. The critical factors in determining the performance of the resulting photonic chip are the yield on the transceiver device arrays, the sensitivity and power dissipation of the receiver and transmitter circuits, and the total optical power budget availa...
متن کاملFormation of high aspect ratio GaAs nanostructures with metal-assisted chemical etching.
Periodic high aspect ratio GaAs nanopillars with widths in the range of 500-1000 nm are produced by metal-assisted chemical etching (MacEtch) using n-type (100) GaAs substrates and Au catalyst films patterned with soft lithography. Depending on the etchant concentration and etching temperature, GaAs nanowires with either vertical or undulating sidewalls are formed with an etch rate of 1-2 μm/mi...

متن کاملHRTEM assessment of Wurtzite and Zinc-Blende phases in GaAs nanowires for optoelectronic devices
1 Semiconductor nanowires have recently attracted a lot of interest as potential building blocks for future electronic and optoelectronic nanodevices. In this work structural and optical properties of semiconductor nanowires are studied by means of high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and photoluminescence (PL) analysis respectively. Several samples of GaAs nanowires grown u...
