A high-performance photonic reservoir, which utilizes the injection locking effect in a highly multimodal semiconductor laser, has been developed. This innovative design allows for fully parallel and high-bandwidth operation. The output of this system is projected in space and imaged onto a digital micromirror device, which provides a readout and facilitates the hardware integration of programmable output weights. By using a highly multimodal semiconductor laser, the injection locking effect enables a large number of modes to be simultaneously locked to the injected signal, resulting in high dimensionality of the reservoir, reducing the computational time and complexity. The use of a digital micromirror device provides a flexible readout, allowing the output to be programmed to suit a range of applications. The hardware integration of programmable output weights enables the system to be optimized for specific tasks, improving performance and reducing power consumption.
