Abstract: Provided herein is a photonic integrated circuit and methods for controlling a photonic integrated circuit that can utilize the resonant frequency of one or more components of the photonic integrated circuit to enhance the response of the circuit. At least one component of the photonic integrated circuit can be driven by an electrical signal whose frequency is substantially equal to the mechanical resonance frequency of the component such that the response of the optical component is increased. The component of the photonic integrated circuit can include a phase shifter that can impart a phase shift on a received optical signal. By driving the phase shifter with an electrical signal that is equal to the mechanical resonance frequency of the optical phase shifter, less power can be required to impart a desired phase shift on a received optical signal. The optical components can be implemented using piezoelectric cantilevers.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a data scheduling register tree structure for radix-2 FFT architecture. The operation method of the proposed invention, there is no need for the Random Access Memory (RAM) to store the data; instead, shift registers with some multiplexers are enough to perform the memory operation with less hardware. There are three steps in the FFT computation such as input storage, data processing and output retrieval. The data processing step is further configured in four different operations. The number of operation mainly depends upon the size of the FFT, which is equal to log2N modes. During each operation, the DSRT changes its structure and these structures are basically MDC (Multi-path Delay Commutator) structures.
