Self-Rectifying All-Optical Modulated Optoelectronic Multistates Memristor Crossbar Array for Neuromorphic Computing.

Researching optoelectronic memristors capable of integrating sensory and processing functions is essential for advancing the development of efficient neuromorphic vision. Here, we experimentally demonstrated an all-optical controlled and self-rectifying optoelectronic memristor (OEM) crossbar array with the function of multilevel storage under light stimuli. The NiO/TiO 2 device exhibits an ultrahigh (>10 4 ) rectifying ratio (RR) thus overcoming the presence of sneak current. The reversible conductance modulation without electric signal involvement provides a novel way to realize ultrafast information processing. The proposed OEM array realized synaptic functions observed in the human brain, including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), the transition from short-term memory (STM) to long-term memory (LTM), and learning experience behaviors successfully. The authors present a novel OEM crossbar that possesses complete light-modulation capabilities, potentially advancing the future development of efficient neuromorphic vision.
