Future tentacles!The smallest time to the world is only 2.4 microns

As an emerging technology, the silicon optical circuit did not use electronics when the signal transmission was transmitted, but with the help of laser photons.And a silicon light CPU, its information processing speed is expected to reach millions of times of today's computers.In the process of progressing towards this goal, the engineers at the University of Utah in the United States have achieved the latest breakthroughs and made the smallest photon beam distributor in the world.The most gratifying thing is that it can be placed in a single silicon chip.

It is reported that the beamor is only 2.4x2.4 microns (1/50 of human hair diameter), and the incident light waves can be divided into two beams, which provides two independent channels for polarization joy.

After combining other optoelectronic components and replacing their electronic equivalent (such as transistor, diode, and other semiconductor devices), the future of "speed operation" will no longer be far away.

This new device can not only exchange data at a rapid speed, but also designing a silicon wafer, but also means that it can be cheaper and easier to use than similar devices (after all, existing silicon chip manufacturing technology).

In addition, because the optoelectronic circuit does not need to be conducted by the wire, its power consumption and calories will be much smaller (greatly improving efficiency).At present, Intel and IBM are developing supercomputers based on silicon light technology, and they are also target customers of the research team.

The team said that such supercomputers are expected to use this beam device within 3 years, and data centers that need to be connected faster may also contact such devices earlier.

The study was completed by RAJESH MENON, an associate professor at Utah University, and Randy Polson, a research assistant, and Bing Shen Wang, a doctoral student Bing Shenwang, and the relevant content was published in the recent journal "Nature Photonics".
