Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CRANBURY, N.J., Oct. 12 -- Princeton Lightwave Inc. (PLI), a New Jersey manufacturer of optical semiconductor components, announced it has licensed IBM’s single-photon detection (SPD) technology. An SPD is an essential component of quantum cryptography systems, which enable extremely secure communications even in the presence of eavesdropping, PLI said. Quantum cryptography systems are being developed for government and financial institutions and are expected to be widely used. Single-photon detectors are also useful in a variety of optical and semiconductor test and measurement applications...Read full article
