The need for speed: Overcoming the bottleneck in optical data transfer

In high-speed communications, very fast optical signals connect to your office or even your home. But these optical signals have not yet reached end-of-edge terminals such as personal computers and smart phones.Dr Hideaki Fukuzawa and Mr Takashi Kikukawa (TDK Corporation, Japan) show that it’s possible to make these optical modulators with standard semiconductor industry processing, significantly lowering costs and creating more compact devices. Read the Research Features article: https://doi.org/10.26904/RF-148-4833963484 Read the original research: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10118728
