Session Information

Programmable optical devices and circuits that can provide multiple functionalities, by programming via electronic/optical means, not only provide a path to significantly reducing the cost per function, but more importantly, increase the potential for applications of one particular photonic chip. This session focuses on the recent progresses of optical devices and circuits with tunable/reconfigurable elements for optical communication, microwave photonics applications, quantum information processing and so on. Both theoretical and experimental works are welcome.
