One main point to take for the analyses is that photons are bosons, so they don't interact between each other, which makes optical switches a pretty hard thing to do. What we do is…

Not even close. Photonics chips and programable photonics are not a way to substitute conventional electronics, but a replacement/complement for some areas of the field where elect…

I'll try an ELI5: When the light propagates in a waveguide as the one used in my circuit, the E and H components of the EM wave are not fully confined to the waveguide, but part of…

The concept of speed that we use in a digital computer does not automatically applies to our optical circuit once we don't work using cycles of a clock. It's not a digital computer…

I don't see photonics doing the data processing anytime soon. For that our current electronics works just fine. What we do with photonics is to improve areas where the electronics …

Hi, Photonics ICs are all around. You can find it in many different applications, but mostly in datacom and telecom. A very simple example: anywhere you have a optical fiber you al…

The full optical device is no bigger than 1mm x 0.5mm. It's very tiny in total size. The point here is that our current implementation has a limited IO capability (our linear opera…

Hi, I'm the author of this paper [15] cited in OP's publication. We are the author of the very first implementation of a fully programmable optical linear circuit in silicon. This …

tks

This is as much cute as useless.

I'm writing to improve my english. Grammar fixes are very welcome ;)

I really like ST, it is the first text editor that I use for more than 1 year in a row. But 70 Dollars is really expensive in my point of view. I'm not sure if I'll upgrade to vers…

4 to five mugs. But not coffee as americano, but coffee as strong as espresso
