Photonic Integrated Unitary Processor based on Multi-Plane Light Conversion
Takuo Tanemura, Rui Tang, Ryota Tanomura, Yoshiaki Nakano · 2022
Recent progress of developing universal optical unitary processors (OUPs) based on the concept of multi-plane light conversion (MPLC) is reviewed. The inherent redundancy of MPLC provides unique scalability and excellent robustness against fabrication imperfectness, enabling large-scale OUPs integrated on silicon and InP platforms.
