A bidynamical all-optical reservoir computing (RC) system for parallel task processing is proposed based on a unidirectional semiconductor optical amplifier optical fiber loop. The polarization dynamics and intensity dynamics are excited by the input signals injected into the reservoir via phase modulation and intensity modulation, respectively. Simultaneous computation of two independent tasks is implemented based on the dynamical responses in polarization and intensity of the optical fiber loop. To our knowledge, this is the first time that two kinds of dynamical responses of an all-optical RC system are used as independent task processing channels to implement parallel task processing. The proposed RC system can achieve good parallel task processing performance with low system cost.
