Researchers plan to announce on Monday that they have created a silicon-based chip that can produce laser beams. The advance will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data ...

In modern microchips, where some transistors have been shrunk to less than a 10th of the size of a Covid-19 virus, it doesn't take much to mess with the minuscule electrical charges that serve as the ...

A new photonics chip that generates multicolored laser beams could supercharge data center technology and ease the strain of AI's surging data demands. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

With a single leap from tabletop to the microscale, engineers have produced the world's first practical Titanium-sapphire laser on a chip, democratizing a once-exclusive technology. As lasers go, ...

Laser hacking. If there's one phrase that says we're already living in the future I imagined as a kid, it's laser hacking, or to give one method its more technical term, "laser fault injection". While ...

Engineers are turning what used to be a bulky optics bench into something that fits on the tip of a finger, and the latest photonic chips go a step further by splitting a single laser into a ...

The rapid rise of photonic chips, which use light to process data instead of electrons, may offer faster means to transmit data. But scaling such chips has been held back by one stubborn issue: ...

Scientists have successfully miniaturized a powerful erbium-based biber laser on a silicon-nitride photonic chip. Since typical erbium-based fiber lasers are large and difficult to scale down, the ...

Osram Opto Semiconductors has introduced the first compact laser multi-chip package. The PLPM4 450 module can pack up to 20 blue laser chips into a single "butterfly" package for projection ...

SANTA CLARA, CA - SEPTEMBER 18: A worker at the displays a strip of a hybrid silicon laser chip at company headquarters September 18, 2006 in Santa Clara, California. Intel announced today that its ...

Physicists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a small laser that produces exceptionally bright, brief pulses of light in a valuable yet ...
