Photonics Breakthroughs 2024: Arbitrary Mode Manipulation Using Reconfigurable Integrated Photonic Processors

Optical modes offer spatial degrees of freedom that can be exploited to implement advanced functionalities across various applications. Conventional photonic devices used for the manipulation of modes operate on predetermined families of eigenmodes of specific systems. Here, we report on a recent fi...
