Abstract

Programmable photonic circuits are optical chips whose functionality can be (re)configured through electronics and software. This programmability enables new functionality, and opens the path
to general-purpose photonic chips, similar to electronic FPGAs. This tutorial discusses the operational principles and technology stack for these chips.
