High-resolution dynamic consistency analysis of photonic time-delay reservoir computer

We numerically investigate a time-delayed reservoir computer architecture based on a single mode laser diode with optical injection and optical feedback. Through a high-resolution parametric analysis, we reveal unforeseen regions of high dynamical consistency. We demonstrate furthermore that the best computing performance is not achieved at the edge of consistency as previously suggested in a coarser parametric analysis. This region of high consistency and optimal reservoir performances are highly sensitive to the data input modulation format
