Better optical modulators boost silicon photonics
BOULDER, Colo., and CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – An improved pair of optical modulators could be a big step toward a major goal in silicon photonics: enabling microprocessors to use light instead of electrical signals to communicate with transistors on a chip. The optical modulators were made at the University of Colorado at Boulder, MIT and Micron Technology Inc., and their creators say that they could allow for Moore’s law – the trajectory of exponential improvement in microprocessors that began nearly a half-century ago &nda...
Better Optical Modulators Boost Silicon Photonics
BOULDER, Colo., & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 3, 2013 — Improvements to two optical modulators are seen as a major step toward a major goal in silicon photonics: enabling microprocessors to use light instead of electrical signals to communicate with transistors on a chip. The pair of optical modulators...
