Silicon photonics is known as a key technology for modern optical communications at the near infrared wavelength-band, i.e., 1.31/1.55 μm. Currently silicon photonics has been desired to be extended ...

Researchers have had a difficult time with Moore's law in recent years as we are reaching the limits of performance for current computer technology. For the last decade and a half, IBM says the clock ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, light-induced thermomagnetic recording in a magnetic thin-film on silicon waveguides. The new writing technique is poised to enable ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Photonic integrated circuits, which use light instead of electricity to transmit and process information, have emerged as a critical technology for fields such as ...

The challenges of implementing optical multiplexing in the terahertz band. A novel approach based on electro-optics, using silicon fabrication to create a four-channel multiplexer operating at 350 THz ...
