Abstract: Artificial synapses with the capability of optical sensing and synaptic functions are fundamental components to construct neuromorphic visual systems. However, most reported artificial optical synapses require a combination of optical and electrical stimuli to achieve bidirectional synaptic conductance modulation, leading to an increase in the processing time and system complexity. Here, an all-optically controlled artificial synapse based on the graphene/titanium dioxide (TiO2) quantum dot heterostructure is reported, whose conductance could be reversibly tuned by the effects of light-induced oxygen adsorption and desorption. Synaptic behaviors, such as excitatory and inhibitory, short-term and long-term plasticity, and learning-forgetting processes, are implemented using the device. An artificial neural network simulator based on the artificial synapse was used to train and recognize handwritten digits with a recognition rate of 92.2%. Furthermore, a 5 x 5 optical synaptic array that could simultaneously sense and memorize light stimuli was fabricated, mimicking the sensing and memory functionality of the retina. Such an all-optically controlled artificial synapse shows a promising prospect in the application of perception, learning, and memory tasks for future neuromorphic visual systems.
