Designing moleculesA class of molecules whose size, structure and chemical composition have been optimized for photonic use could provide the demanding combination of properties needed to serve as the foundation for low-power, high-speed all-optical signal processing.All-optical switching could allow dramatic speed increases in telecommunications by eliminating the need to convert photonic signals to electronic signals "“ and back "“ for switching. All-optical processing could also...
With a bit of leverage, Cornell researchers have used a very tiny beam of light with as little as 1 milliwatt of power to move a silicon structure up to 12 nanometers. That's enough to completely switch the optical properties of the structure from opaque to transparent, they reported.The technology could have applications in the design of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) -- nanoscale devices with moving parts -- and micro-optomechanical systems (MOMS) which combine moving parts with...
The next time an overnight snow begins to fall, take two bricks and place them side by side a few inches apart in your yard.In the morning, the bricks will be covered with snow and barely discernible. The snowflakes will have filled every vacant space between and around the bricks.What you will see, says Ivan Biaggio, resembles a phenomenon that, when it occurs at the smallest of scales on an integrated optical circuit, could hasten the day when the Internet works at superfast speeds.Biaggio,...
Glimmerglass, leading provider of Intelligent Optical Switches, announced today that its switches have been certified for use in Russia, expanding the company's global footprint to Eastern Europe. The company also announced the first sale of its switch in Russia. Certification for use in Russia's telecommunications networks is a rigorous process which includes assessment of technical specifications and verification of compatibility with other telecommunications equipment in the Russian...
