Not exact matches
And because
photonic chips shuttle photons instead of electrons, mobile
devices such
as smartphones or tablets built with this technology would consume less power, have longer battery life and generate less heat than existing mobile
devices.
The new
device, referred to technically
as a «fully integrated non-duplicate polarization - diversity silicon -
photonic switch,» consists of a single 8 x 8 grid of 2 x 2 element switches.
This is exciting for integrated
photonics because most optical
devices use interactions between two or more waves, which need to propagate in sync
as they move through the circuit.
Sailing He, meanwhile, had made a name for himself in
photonics, the effort to develop technologies that manipulate light much
as electronic
devices control the flow of electricity.
«In a sense, the
device acts
as the
photonic equivalent to electronic transistors, which switch electric currents in response to other electric currents,» says Dr. Barak Dayan, head of the Weizmann Institute's Quantum Optics group, including Itay Shomroni, Serge Rosenblum, Yulia Lovsky, Orel Bechler and Gabriel Guendleman of the Chemical Physics Department in the Faculty of Chemistry.
Nanometre - scale gold particles are intensively investigated for applications
as catalysts, sensors, drug delivery
devices and biological contrast agents and
as components in
photonics and molecular electronics.
The finding that a single layer of atoms modifies properties of light and other electromagnetic radiation has implications for controlling light at subwavelength scales in
photonic devices such
as LEDs and photovoltaic cells.
Researchers at the Institute of
Photonic Sciences (ICFO) have developed a lab - on - a-chip
