Abstract

Programmable photonic circuits bring much-needed flexibility to the world of integrated optics, making it possible to engineer more diverse functions on a single chip, and accelerate prototyping photonics for new applications. We will discuss recent progress in general-purpose programmable chip technology and the surrounding ecosystem.
