[EN] The foundations of a new class of computation theory, termed Analog Programmable-Photonic Computation (APC), explicitly designed to unleash the full potential of programmable integrated photonic technology are presented. ...

[EN] Programmable multipurpose photonic integrated circuits require software routines to make use of their flexible operation as desired. In this work, we propose and demonstrate the use of a modified tree-search algorithm ...

[ES] Fabrication variation and variation in grown layer thickness translates into phase errors in integrated photonic devices. These unwanted phase variations lead to a deviation in fabricated device performance as compared ...

[EN] We propose and experimentally demonstrate the use of directional couplers with an independent phase actuator on each waveguide. We show the configurations that allow the setting of the splitting ratio and the phase ...

[ES] El modulador óptico integrado es un componente fundamental en cualquier sistema moderno de radio sobre fibra, ya que tiene una gran influencia en la distorsión que experimenta la señal radio transmitida. "Silicon-on ...

[ES] Hasta ahora, todos los Circuitos Integrados Fotónicos han sido diseñados, fabricados, encapsulados y validados con el objetivo de implementar una única aplicación. La expansión de esta tecnología está limitada por el ...

[EN] We present a model to compute the figures of merit of self-beating Microwave Photonic systems, a novel class of systems that work on a self-homodyne fashion by sharing the same laser source for information bearing and ...

[ES] Until now all the photonic integrated circuits (PICs) designed have been the so-called Application Specific Photonic Integrated Circuits (ASPICs) where a particular circuit and chip configuration is designed to optimally ...

Integrated microwave photonics changes the scaling laws of information and communication systems offering architectural choices that combine photonics with electronics to optimize performance, power, footprint and cost. ...

[EN] Photonic integrated circuits based on waveguide meshes and multibeam interferometers call for large-scale integration of Tunable Basic Units (TBUs) that feature beam splitters and waveguides. This units are loaded ...
