This project aims to develop low-power technologies for programming and tuning photonic integrated circuits (PICs). By replacing thermal tuning, the project will reduce power consumption from watts to milliwatts, which also eliminates the thermal crosstalk that limits the complexity of today's PICs. The expected outcome will be the basis for a generic field-programmable photonic chip, which can be used to rapidly prototype designs for production as full custom chips as part of a new Australian industry capability. The expected benefits will be a faster innovation cycle, greater adoption of photonic technologies, and support of research into, for example, neuromorphic optical processing, and advanced communications and sensing systems.

该项目旨在开发用于编程和调整光子集成电路（图片）的低功率技术。通过更换热调整，该项目将减少从瓦特到毫米的功耗，这也消除了限制当今图片复杂性的热串扰。预期的结果将是通用现场可编程的光子芯片的基础，该光子芯片可用于作为新的澳大利亚行业能力的一部分作为完整定制芯片的生产迅速原型设计。预期的好处将是更快的创新周期，更大的光子技术采用以及对例如神经形态光学处理以及高级通信和传感系统的研究支持。
