Short, Powerful On-chip Light Pulses Generated

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 1, 2010 — Electrical engineers generated short, powerful light pulses on a chip — an important step toward the optical interconnects that will likely replace the copper wires that carry information between chips within today's computers. University of California — San Diego electrical engineers recently developed the first ultracompact, low power pulse compressor on a silicon chip. This miniaturized short pulse generator eliminates a roadblock on the way to optical interconnects for use in PCs, data centers, imaging applications and beyond. These optical interconnects, which will...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
