Photonic synapses with low power consumption and high sensitivity

"three-terminal photonic synapse... large-area, uniform multilayer MoS2 films... ultrashort optical pulse detection within 5 μs and ultralow power consumption 40 aJ... several orders magnitude lower... can be further used for more complex ANN. The photoconductivity of MoS2 channel grown by CVD regulated by photostimulation signal, enables device simulate short-term synaptic plasticity (STP), long-term synaptic plasticity (LTP), paired-pulse facilitation (PPF)... simulate human visual perception"
