Abstract

In the European project MORPHIC (MEMS-based zerO-power Recon gurable Photonic ICs), we are extending a silicon photonics platform with optical MEMS functionality for low-power phase shifting and coupling. This functionality is critical to establish generic photonic circuits that can be reconfi gured in software to perform a variety of optical functions for different applications. This also addresses today's bottleneck of the long and costly path from idea towards realization for full-custom PIC designers and manufacturers. With programmable photonics circuits, we expect the lead time to reduce from an almost a year to a few weeks from the user side with great reduction in cost and effort.
