Abstract
Photonic integrated circuits manipulate light at microscopic scales on the surface of a chip. In parallel with their electronical counterparts, interest is shifting from application specific designs to programmable circuits, offering greater flexibility and shorter design times. To utilize the full potential of programmable photonic integrated circuits, special software routines need to be developed to determine the optical paths inside the mesh. We develop an algorithm that quickly returns an efficient configuration. For this, it only requires the mesh topology, but otherwise works hardware-agnostic. We compare the results of our algorithm to earlier proposed algorithms and to an optimal solution where possible.
