ArXi:2605.03241v1 Announce Type: cross Read-only memory (ROM) provides deterministic access to predefined data mappings. Extending ROM concepts to the optical domain enables high-bandwidth, low-latency, and parallel memory access, but realizing compact and reconfigurable optical ROM remains challenging due to loss, wavelength control, and integration constraints. This work presents a high-speed, reconfigurable photonic ROM architecture implemented using integrated microring resonators (MRRs.
