Graph-theoretic design of lasing networks for physical vision
Paul Obernolte, Jakub Dranczewski, Yixiu Yin +10
Physical neural networks perform learning through the intrinsic nonlinear dynamics of matter. Optimising their design presents a considerable challenge: complex many-body physics c…
Surface Plasmon Polariton Excitation in Time-modulated Media
T. V. Raziman, Marie Touboul, Riccardo Sapienza +2
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are central to application areas such as sensing, energy harvesting, and nanoscale optics, and are typically excited via spatial structuring -- an…
Single-mode emission by phase-delayed coupling between nano-lasers
T. V. Raziman, Anna Fischer, Riccardo Nori +10
Near-field coupling between nanolasers enables collective high-power lasing but leads to complex spectral reshaping and multimode operation, limiting the emission brightness, spati…
Few-Shot Neuromorphic Vision in a Nonlinear Photonic Network Laser
Wai Kit Ng, Jakub Dranczewski, Anna Fischer +11
With the growing prevalence of AI, demand increases for hardware that mimics the brain's ability to extract structure from limited data. In the retina, ganglion cells detect featur…
Space-Time Optical Diffraction from Synthetic Motion
A. C. Harwood, S. Vezzoli, T. V. Raziman +7
The interaction of light with objects and media moving at relativistic and superluminal speeds enables unconventional phenomena such as Fresnel drag, Hawking radiation, and light a…
Roadmap for Animate Matter
Giorgio Volpe, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Maria Guix +37
Humanity has long sought inspiration from nature to innovate materials and devices. As science advances, nature-inspired materials are becoming part of our lives. Animate materials…
