随着硅光子技术的成熟，光学器件将以前所未有的规模提供。因此，开发用于大规模设计的光学器件合成的自动化方法势在必行。我们目前的设计和合成方法，用于实现数字逻辑使用传统的集成光学元件，特别是光学交叉路由设备的基础上马赫-曾德尔干涉。我们的设计方法利用了这些光学器件的独特优势，同时也解决了技术的局限性。我们扩展这些设计概念，包括技术特定的逻辑共享，并提供自动化技术的逻辑设计实现，评估我们的技术在一些逻辑设计的功效。通过通信和计算的融合，光学器件的使用规模超出了传统的光学设计。
As silicon photonics technology matures, optical devices will be available on a scale never before seen or utilized. It is therefore imperative to develop automated methods for synthesizing optical devices for large-scale designs. We present design and synthesis methodologies for implementing digital logic using conventional integrated optical components, specifically optical cross-bar routing devices based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometry. Our design methodologies utilize the unique advantages of these optical devices, while also addressing the limitations of the technology. We extend these design concepts to include technology-specific logic sharing, and provide automated techniques for logic design implementation, evaluating the efficacy of our techniques on a number of logic designs. Through the convergence of communications and computing, optical devices are utilized on scales beyond traditional optic design.
