Abstract

The field of Programmable Photonics is of increasing interest. Many programmable circuits utilise thermal switches to carry out the programming function, which introduces a significant continuous power requirement, which is unsustainable in the longer term. Silicon Photonics has proved a popular substrate to support these circuits as Silicon has a significant thermos-optic co-efficient, and is growing in maturity as a photonic platform. In this work we have developed a way to both programme photonic devices as well as tuning their operating point, in a semi-permanent manner, to remove the need for continuous power to sustain a given circuit configuration.
