Excitatory impulse wit luminescence as the optical output

Caption

A photon-modulated synaptic device based on a rare-earth-doped long-afterglow crystal facilitates excitatory (UV-induced) and inhibitory (near-infrared induced) plasticity. This schematic depicts the excitatory impulse wit luminescence as the optical output.
