GRAPHSPAY: Global Routing And Programming Heuristics for Silicon Photonics Adaptive circuitrY Ghent University
Photonic integrated circuits (PIC) manipulate light at microscopic scales on the surface of a chip. These PICs are used for special functions like optical fiber communication or sensors. A new class of PICs, called programmable photonic circuits, are designed to be generic. Like an electronic computer processor, the functionality can be programmed in software. This new class of optical processors is especially interesting for new applications ...
