| | The aim of UMWP-CHIP is the design, implementation and validation of a universal or general-purpose programmable photonic integrated circuit (PIC) capable of performing with the same hardware architecture the main functionalities required in microwave photonics. The processor core will be based on the novel concept of photonic waveguide mesh and will be integrated in a Silicon Photonics chip. Its three specific objectives are: (1) The architecture design and optimization of a technology agnostic universal MWP programmable signal processor, (2) The chip mask design, fabrication and testing of the processor and (3) The experimental demonstration and validation of the processor. | | The aim of UMWP-CHIP is the design, implementation and validation of a universal or general-purpose programmable photonic integrated circuit (PIC) capable of performing with the same hardware architecture the main functionalities required in microwave photonics.
