報告摘要:
The advancement of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) brings new opportunities for on-chip optical computation and interconnection. Optical computing, as a promising alternative to traditional CMOS computing, has great potentials to offer ultra-high speed and low-power in information processing and communications. This presentation will discuss some recent research efforts and results on optical computing on silicon-on-insulator based PICs, including optical adder designs and a general logic synthesis framework for PICs. The advantages, limitations, and possible research directions will be discussed.
