Project description
Photonic Circuits can process information streams with very high bandwidth. By modulating microwave signale onto an optical carrier, they can be filtered on a photonic chip. In this work, a programmable photonic is built in silicon photonics technology, using high-speed modulators, photodetectors and integrated amplifiers.
