VION in your browser.

VION is our four-channel programmable light processor. The simulator runs its design, so you can program it today, straight from your browser.

Figures in the simulator are estimates from the VION design.

Chip

Set any of the twelve phase shifters by hand and watch the light re-route through the mesh of six tunable interferometers. The readout shows how much light reaches each detector, and the transfer map shows where light from every input ends up.

The Chip view: laser light enters input 0 and travels through the interferometer mesh, with the phase settings on the left and the detected light and transfer map on the right.

Transform

Pick a target operation, such as pass-through, two splitters, or an even spread of every input over all four outputs. The simulator finds the phases that make the chip match it, loads them, and reports how closely the chip follows the target as it drifts.

The Transform view after programming “Spread evenly”: the chip matches the target with every input sending a quarter of its light to each output.

Bench

Build the experiment around the chip. Choose a tunable laser or a photon pair source, pick the input, and swap between a photodiode, an avalanche photodiode and a superconducting single-photon detector.

The Bench view: a tunable laser feeds the chip through a fibre, and four fibres carry its outputs to InGaAs photodiodes.

Every virtual chip is different

Each chip number is a different virtual chip from the same design, with its own fabrication offsets and imperfections, so the same phases give slightly different light on another chip. Share the number to compare results.
