Abstract
An optoelectronic implementation of a modified FitzHugh–Nagumo neuron model is proposed, analyzed, and experimentally demonstrated. The setup uses linear optics and linear electronics for implementing an optical wavelength-domain nonlinearity. The system attains instability through a bifurcation mechanism present in a class of neuron models, a fact that is shown analytically. The implementation exhibits basic features of neural dynamics including threshold, production of short pulses (or spikes), and refractoriness.
