Ayar Labs Inc., a startup that’s developing optical interconnects that can transmit data between computer chips via light, said today it has closed on a hefty late-stage $155 million funding round led ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

Schematic diagram and microscopic observation of an optical fiber doped with rare-earth atoms. The fluorescence from the entire optical fiber can be seen. (b) Schematic diagram and microscopic ...

Scientists have demonstrated a sort of holographic strip that splits a single laser beam into five bespoke beams that create an optical knot. The work shows that optical knots could be used as a ...

AI models are power hogs. As the algorithms grow and become more complex, they’re increasingly taxing current computer chips. Multiple companies have designed chips tailored to AI to reduce power draw ...

However, achieving three-dimensional confinement of light in a way that allows for precise control and manipulation has remained a challenging frontier. Previous attempts have often been limited to ...

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1,200 in a study reported in Nature Photonics ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...
