An all-optical fiber-optic switching device that maintains the signal as light from input to output. Traditional switches that connect optical fiber lines are electro-optic. They convert photons from ...

An 'all-optical switch' is a device that uses light to control other optical signals without the need for electrical conversion, saving both time and energy in optical communications. A research team ...

The rapid and on-going development of micro-miniature optical electronic devices is helping to usher in a new era of photonic computers and light-based memories that promise super-fast processor ...

Silicon photonics startup nEye Systems has closed a $58 million funding round. The Series B round was led by CapitalG and saw participation from Microsoft’s venture fund M12, Micron Ventures, Nvidia, ...

Researchers have been able to confine light down to a space one atom, the smallest possible. This will pave the way to ultra-small optical switches, detectors and sensors. Light can function as an ...

The tight integration of electronics and optical functions via silicon MEMS technology goes far beyond the simple combining of LEDs, phototransistors, and similar components. With the growth in links ...
