As silicon photonics technology matures, optical devices will be available on a scale never before seen or utilized. It is therefore imperative to develop automated methods for synthesizing optical devices for large-scale designs. We present design and synthesis methodologies for implementing digital logic using conventional integrated optical components, specifically optical cross-bar routing devices based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometry. Our design methodologies utilize the unique advantages of these optical devices, while also addressing the limitations of the technology. We extend these design concepts to include technology-specific logic sharing, and provide automated techniques for logic design implementation, evaluating the efficacy of our techniques on a number of logic designs. Through the convergence of communications and computing, optical devices are utilized on scales beyond traditional optic design.
