The New World of Programmable Photonics
Wim Bogaerts, David A. B. Miller, J. Capmany · 2019
Programmable photonics defines the technologies to manipulate light under software control on a microscopic scale, often on a photonic integrated circuit, offering the optical equivalent of field-programmable-gate-arrays in electronics. Programmable photonics enables uniquely new applications, but can also make the photonic ecosystem more widely accessible.
