Fiber Optics News
Signals amplified by light alone
MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL – The discovery that the force of light in a nanoscale switch is strong enough to move an optical waveguide without having to rely on the device’s mechanical structure could dramatically increase Internet download speeds while also consuming less power. The microscale optical device, developed at the University of Minnesota, uses the force generated by light to flop a mechanical light-based switch on and off at very high speeds. This development could lead to advances in computation and s...
