Alan Willner and Robert Hellwarth of the USC Viterbi School's Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering have received
$4.3 million to develop "optical delays" which they hope will change the rules of manipulating photonic data at ultra-high speeds.
Currently, data transmission along networks such as CalREN takes place using light waves, whereas the processing of the data takes place by the movement of electrons ("electronics"). Enabling data processing using "photonics" instead would make it possible for data processing and transmission to be carried out entirely with light waves, from end to end. Keep an eye out here and at USC's Photonics Center for developments on this exciting new technology that could make a significant difference in modern life. |
