Silicon Nanoantennas Turn Light Around
MOSCOW, Nov. 22, 2016 — Light is rather hard to control, as photons have neither mass nor electric charge. Devices such as nanoantennas can control the propagation of electromagnetic waves, but only to a certain degree. A proposed nonlinear optical nanoantenna that can be manipulated, will operate at 250 Gbps, shining light, so to speak, on the development of optical computers where information is carried by photons, rather than electrons, greatly increasing the speed of transmitting and processing of
