Researchers have developed PICasso, an AI-enabled framework that uses natural language to design, verify, and optimize silicon photonic integrated circuits. This framework couples LLMs with domain-specific knowledge and physical verification to improve design satisfaction and reduce insertion loss. Separately, a conceptual architecture named SOLACE proposes combining integrated photovoltaics with optical neural networks and low-power CMOS to create energy-aware AI inference systems that could harvest ambient light.
