| contents | Analog neuromorphic photonic processors are uniquely positioned to harness the ultrafast bandwidth and inherent parallelism of light, enabling scalability, on-chip integration and significant improvement in computational performance. However, major challenges remain unresolved especially in achieving real-time online training, efficient end-to-end anolog systems, and adaptive learning for dynamical environmental changes. Here, we demonstrate an on-chip photonic analog end-to-end adaptive learning system realized on a foundry-manufactured silicon photonic integrated circuit. Our platform leverages a multiplexed gradient descent algorithm to perform in-situ, on-the-fly training, while maintaining robustness in online tracking and real-time adaptation. At its core, the processor features a monolithic integration of a microring resonator weight bank array and on-chip photodetectors, enabling direct optical measurement of gradient signals. This eliminates the need for high-precision digital matrix multiplications, significantly reducing computational overhead and latency, an essential requirement for effective online training. We experimentally demonstrate real-time, end-to-end analog training for both linear and nonlinear classification tasks at gigabaud rates, achieving accuracies of over 90\% and 80\%, respectively. Our analog neuromorphic processor introduces self-learning capabilities that dynamically adjust training parameters, setting the stage for truly autonomous neuromorphic architectures capable of efficient, real-time processing in unpredictable real-world environments. As a result, we showcase adaptive online tracking of dynamically changing input datasets and achieve over 90\% accuracy, alongside robustness to external temperature fluctuations and internal thermal crosstalk. |
