Reconfigurable analog photonic networks

Spurred by advances in scalable photonic system integration, ideas in photonic information processing have recently experienced a resurgence. We review the latest results in reconfigurable analog photonic networks, neuromorphic photonics, and multivariate RF photonics. These architectures could enable next-generation microwave signal processing and scientific computing.
