Finchetto CEO exclusively talks to us about using light to cut network latency, reduce power use, and remove network ...

Engineers created a smaller, faster and more efficient photonic switch, which leverages principles from quantum mechanics and could accelerate everything from streaming to training AI by supercharging ...

Until now, the photonic switches used for routing optical signals have been hindered by a fundamental tradeoff between size and speed: Larger switches can handle higher speeds and more data but also ...

Researchers in China claim to have developed an ultrafast and low-power all-optical switch based on photonic crystals. They claim that their polymer-based device exhibits a high switching efficiency ...

The VOS64 is a 64x 64 photonic switch aimed at metro and core optical networking designs. The new switch is built using discrete 3D switching elements and provides independent dual control mechanisms.

France’s telecom service provider SFR will deploy Alcatel-Lucent’s 1830 Photonic Service Switch to address demand for ultra-broadband access from both mobile and fixed-line customers. The deployment ...

The tight integration of electronics and optical functions via silicon MEMS technology goes far beyond the simple combining of LEDs, phototransistors, and similar components. With the growth in links ...

Every second, terabytes of data — the equivalent of downloading thousands upon thousands of movies at once — travel around the world as light in fiber-optic cables, like so many cars packed onto a ...
