摘　　要：Dendrites,branches of neurons that transmit signals between synapses and soma,play a vital role in spiking information processing,such as nonlinear integration of excitatory and inhibitory stimuli.However,the investigation of nonlinear integration of dendrites in photonic neurons and the fabrication of photonic neurons including dendritic nonlinear integration in photonic spiking neural networks(SNNs)remain open problems.Here,we fabricate and integrate two dendrites and one soma in a single Fabry–Perot laser with an embedded saturable absorber(FP-SA)neuron to achieve nonlinear integration of excitatory and inhibitory stimuli.Note that the two intrinsic electrodes of the gain section and saturable absorber(SA)section in the FP-SA neuron are defined as two dendrites for two ports of stimuli reception,with one electronic dendrite receiving excitatory stimulus and the other receiving inhibitory stimulus.The stimuli received by two electronic dendrites are integrated non-linearly in a single FP-SA neuron,which generates spikes for photonic SNNs.The properties of frequency encoding and spatiotemporal encoding are investigated experimentally in a single FP-SA neuron with two electronic dendrites.For SNNs equipped with FP-SA neurons,the range of weights between presynaptic neurons and postsynaptic neurons is varied from negative to positive values by biasing the gain and SA sections of FP-SA neurons.Compared with SNN with all-positive weights realized by only biasing the gain section of photonic neurons,the recognition accuracy of Iris flower data is improved numerically in SNN consisting of FP-SA neurons.The results show great potential for multi-functional integrated photonic SNN chips.
