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谐光子集成电路（PIC）的低功耗技术。通过取代热调谐，该项目将功耗从瓦特降低到毫瓦，这也消除了限制当今PIC复杂性的热串扰。预期成果将成为通用现场可编程光子芯片的基础，该芯片可用于快速原型设计，作为澳大利亚新工业能力的一部分，作为全定制芯片进行生产。预期的好处将是更快的创新周期，更多地采用光子技术，并支持研究，例如神经形态光学处理，先进的通信和传感系统。
