Summary: Digital electronics has been a cornerstone in modern society, but its scalability is reaching its limit, making it unable to support real-time multi-data processing applications. Analog computing using programmable integrated photonics (PIP) can be more efficient in such scenarios, and a new computation theory called Analog Programmable-Photonic Computation (APC) has been developed to maximize the potential of PIP technology. APC overcomes the limitations of existing computational models and can be implemented in other technologies, showing the potential for groundbreaking impact on the information society.

Summary: Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with small footprints have advanced signal processing functions, but their operation is affected by fabrication tolerances and dynamic thermal and acoustic effects. This study demonstrates a 'dial-up' PIC filter that uses an on-chip optical reference path to accurately implement a wide range of filter functions. The method utilizes an independent feedback algorithm to control each tap in a finite impulse response (FIR) filter and enables the identification of phase and amplitude for each tap.

Summary: Photonic RF transversal signal processors, implemented with photonic technologies, offer high-speed information processing with reduced size, power consumption, and complexity. Optical microcombs generated from compact micro-resonators are ideal sources for RF photonics. This study provides a detailed analysis of the processing accuracy of microcomb-based photonic RF transversal signal processors. Theoretical limitations, practical error sources, and the relative contributions of both are investigated, highlighting the potential for further error reduction through feedback control.
