Photonic Integration Moves Chip Towards Petabit-Speed

Article excerpt

New optical couplers could simplify photonic chip integration while enabling faster, more energy-efficient data transmission. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a series of advances, which could bring electronic-photonic chips a step closer towards transferring more than one petabit per second while consuming very little power. Developed by MIT’s FUTUR-IC program, […]
