Researchers developed a fully optical artificial synapse that uses a rare-earth-doped crystal to both sense and store information with light, mimicking short-term synaptic plasticity without electrical signals. Integrated with an imaging sensor, the device enabled in-sensor noise reduction and improved image recognition accuracy, pointing toward energy-efficient neuromorphic vision systems. https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/advanced-photonics/volume-8/issue-04/046001/Fully-photon-modulated-synaptic-devices-with-bidirectional-plasticity-for-neuromorphic/10.1117/1.AP.8.4.046001.full
