This book provides the first comprehensive, up-to-date and
self-contained introduction to the emergent field of Programmable
Integrated Photonics (PIP). It covers both theoretical and
practical aspects, ranging from basic technologies and the building
of photonic component blocks, to design alternatives and principles
of complex programmable photonic circuits, their limiting factors,
techniques for characterization and performance monitoring/control,
and their salient applications both in the classical as well as in
the quantum information fields. The book concentrates and focuses
mainly on the distinctive features of programmable photonics, as
compared to more traditional ASPIC approaches. After some years
during which the Application Specific Photonic Integrated Circuit
(ASPIC) paradigm completely dominated the field of integrated
optics, there has been an increasing interest in PIP. The rising
interest in PIP is justified by the surge in a number of emerging
applications that call for true flexibility and reconfigurability,
as well as low-cost, compact, and low-power consuming devices.
Programmable Integrated Photonics is a new paradigm that aims at
designing common integrated optical hardware configurations, which
by suitable programming, can implement a variety of
functionalities. These in turn can be exploited as basic operations
in many application fields. Programmability enables, by means of
external control signals, both chip reconfiguration for
multifunction operation, as well as chip stabilization against
non-ideal operations due to fluctuations in environmental
conditions and fabrication errors. Programming also allows for the
activation of parts of the chip, which are not essential for the
implementation of a given functionality, but can be of help in
reducing noise levels through the diversion of undesired
reflections.
