Neuromorphic Photonic Devices and Applications synthesizes in one volume the most critical advances in photonic neuromorphic models, photonic material platforms, and accelerators for neuromorphic computing. It discusses fields and applications that can leverage these new platforms.

A brief review of the historical development of the field is provided followed by a discussion of the emerging 2D photonic materials platforms and recent work in implementing neuromorphic models and 3D neuromorphic systems. The application of artificial intelligence such as neuromorphic models to inverse design neuromorphic materials and devices and predict performance challenges is discussed throughout. The book includes a comprehensive overview of the applications of neuromorphic photonic technologies and the challenges, opportunities, and future prospects facing the field.

Neuromorphic Photonic Devices and Applications is suitable for researchers and practitioners in academia and R&D in the multi-disciplinary field of photonics.
