New Tech in Transfering Data

Hybrid Silicon-Laser Chips

Intel Corp and university researchers recently announced a breakthrough that could lead to laser-producing chip. They have developed hybrid silicon-laser chips that use laser beams that enables data transfer instead of wires technology.

This breaktrough addresses one of the last major barriers to producing low-cost, high-bandwidth silicon photonics devices. The use of photonics, or optical data transfer, could increase the speed of computers while keeping cost down, the researchers said. The use of lasers could allow communication between chips within a system, bypassing many of the bottlenecks on existing computer chips.
