Embrace the Light! Researchers Built All-Optical Device for Faster Broadband
5th October 2012
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have built an all-optical device that is able to flip a switch. The technology might strike many as esoteric, but getting light to change state (from on to off) based only on a signal from another light is a big deal that could pave the way for faster and more-efficient broadband networks.
