The method used by Yu and colleagues of directly inserting light into the cavity through the end of the fiber proved far more robust, making the technology a plausible platform for cheap and compact optical - resonator -
based photonic devices.
Not exact matches
Light -
based or
photonic computers have the potential to run at least 20 times faster than your laptop, not to mention the fact that they won't produce heat or suck up energy like existing
devices.
These sources are fabricated on a compact, silicon -
based integrated
photonics platform, which enables hundreds of
devices — in this case, frequency combs — to be fabricated on a single small - area die.
For example,

Weizmann Institute scientists have demonstrated for the first time a
photonic router — a quantum
device based on a single atom that enables routing of single photons by single photons.
So far, research in mid-IR group IV
photonics has focused on silicon -
based devices for shorter wavelengths due to its availability, low cost, maturity of fabrication processes, possibility for
photonics - electronics integration and a good transparency.
Economically important applications for semiconductor
