Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have created a “bimetallic” optical switch with the potential to bring dramatic efficiencies to how data is transmitted and stored, according to a recent ...

Cost-effective transparent connectivity is possible thanks to an optical switch core module that routes light from any of 80 input fibers to any of 80 output fibers. Developed by Glimmerglass, the ...

A new technical paper titled “Hybrid silicon all-optical switching devices integrated with two-dimensional material” was published by researchers at RIKEN, National Institute of Advanced Industrial ...

(Nanowerk News) Conventional computer processors have pretty much maxed out their “clock speeds” — a measurement of how fast they can toggle on and off — due to limitations of electronic switching.

Nortel Networks has confirmed that its all-optical switch — the Optera Px, derived from Nortel’s $3.25 billion acquisition of Xros last year — is now in trials with an unidentified carrier. This means ...

Over the past few years, Google has been quietly overhauling its data centers, replacing its networking infrastructure with a radical in-house approach that has long been the dream of those in the ...

Plasmonics is playing a crucial role in advancing nanophotonics, as plasmonic structures exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics that are benefited by the localized and intensified ...
