Abstract

In this chapter, we briefly reviewed some developments in the field of integrated optics since Miller first introduced this concept, noting some approaches to optimise structures based on functional performance criteria. Chapter Contents: • 12.1 Introduction • 12.2 Some applications of genetic algorithms in integrated optics design • 12.3 Functional integrated optics powered by a reservoir computer • 12.3.1 Introduction to an algorithmic reservoir computer • 12.3.2 An optical reservoir computer as a temporal signal discriminator • 12.3.3 Chaotic cavity as a reservoir computer kernel • 12.3.4 ORC training and validation • 12.4 Conclusions • References.
