GOTHENBURG, Sweden, March 11, 2011 — The speed of surface-emitting lasers has been increased four times to an error-free data rate and record of 40 Gb – a breakthrough that could lead to faster Internet traffic, computers and mobile phones. Up to 100,000 lasers can be fabricated and tested before we cut the wafer into chips, Anders Larsson says. (Image: J-O Yxell) “The market for this technology is gigantic. In the huge data centers that handle the Internet, there are today over 100 million surface-emitting lasers. That figure is expected to increase a hundredfold,” said Anders Larsson, professor at...Read full article
