An all-optical fiber-optic switching device that maintains the signal as light from input to output. Traditional switches that connect optical fiber lines are electro-optic. They convert photons from ...

When it comes to gaming keyboards, there are literally hundreds of options. While mechanical switches are the switch of choice for gamers, more manufacturers are releasing gaming keyboards with ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...

Researchers working under Juerg Leuthold, Professor of Photonics and Communications, have created the world’s smallest integrated optical switch. Applying a small voltage causes an atom to relocate, ...

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "There is more to life than increasing its speed." Wise words, indeed, for us personally. They also hold true for data centers, but in a different way. While increasing the ...

The field of ultrafast magnetism explores how flashes of light can manipulate a material's magnetization in trillionths of a second. In the process called all-optical switching (AOS), a single laser ...
