Using Passive Approach, Scientists Achieve Color Converting Chips

Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute designed and tested chips that convert one color of light into a rainbow of additional colors, which is useful for building quantum computers and precision measurements of frequency or time. Generating the frequency of light on a chip saves the space and energy that would normally be taken up by additional lasers. Read Article
