Optics & Photonics News - Programmable Photonics
A programmable silicon photonic chip (fabricated in imec’s silicon photonics platform) that has been enhanced with photonic MEMS phase shifters in the European project PHORMIC. [imec / Ghent University] Photonic chips, also called photonic integrated circuits (PICs), have become vital in our daily lives, often in unseen ways. Data centers wired up with millions of fiber optic connections, powered by transceivers with photonic chips, keep the internet and machine-learning models running.

Feature Articles New Views on Battery Diagnostics To improve the lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles, scientists need techniques that offer insights into their internal dynamics. by Susan Curtis Programmable Photonics With the addition of programmability and software, photonic chips can enter a new era of flexibility, creativity and diverse applications.
Roadmapping the next generation of silicon photonics - Nature Communications
Abstract Silicon photonics has developed into a mainstream technology driven by advances in optical communications. The current generation has led to a proliferation of integrated photonic devices from thousands to millions-mainly in the form of communication transceivers for data centers. Products in many exciting applications, such as sensing and computing, are around the corner. What will it take to increase the proliferation of silicon photonics from millions to billions of units shipped?
Programmable Photonic Chips Adapt PICs to Multiple Futures
Liquid crystal technology and MEMS are enabling reprogrammable PICs that will be able to support multiple functions and significantly accelerate the development cycle of future photonic chips. While electronics are perfect for performing fast calculations, photonics are ideal for moving information around. A major drawback of the latter, however, is the slow and costly development process for new photonic integrated chips, hampering their widespread use.
Programmable photonic circuits
Abstract The growing maturity of integrated photonic technology makes it possible to build increasingly large and complex photonic circuits on the surface of a chip. Today, most of these circuits are designed for a specific application, but the increase in complexity has introduced a generation of photonic circuits that can be programmed using software for a wide variety of functions through a mesh of on-chip waveguides, tunable beam couplers and optical phase shifters.
