A multifunctional silicon photonics integrated circuit that can be programmed to perform a variety of different functions has been developed by researchers from Spain and the UK.
This is “the first photonic integrated chip that enables multiple functionalities by employing a single common architecture”, according to researchers from the Silicon Photonics Group at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), University of Southampton, and from the Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM) at the Universitat Politècnica de València,
The team’s results have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
The chip’s operation is inspired by field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which use a common hardware architecture with logic blocks that can be configured to perform the desired operations.
