No more magnets: How an electrically driven, linear optical isolator on-a-chip opens door to new applications

Traditional computers are fast, but nothing like the speed of light—at 186,000 miles per second, you can crunch numbers awfully quick. That’s a big reason why optical photonics are being used for ...

Getting an all-optical AI to handle non-linear math

A standard digital camera used in a car for stuff like emergency braking has a perceptual latency of a hair above 20 milliseconds. That’s just the time needed for a camera to transform the photons ...
