Fully integrated hybrid multimode-multiwavelength photonic processor with picosecond latency.

ABSTRACT: High-speed signal processing is crucial for increasing the data throughput in next-generation communication systems, including multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks, emerging 6G architectures, and beyond. However, system scaling inevitably increases hardware complexity, computational demands, and the challenges associated with digital signal processing (DSP). The physical limitations of electronic processors constrain computational throughput and increase DSP latency, creating a critical bottleneck. Photonic processors offer a compelling alternative, with inherent advantages of broad bandwidth, low loss, massive parallelism, and ultralow latency. Nevertheless, their scalability has been hindered by integration challenges, large device footprints, and on-chip multiplexing limits. H
