IBM Breakthrough Paves Way For Optical Computers
December 22, 2006 /
IBM is using micro-ring resonators to force the light to briefly circle in the same spot, delaying its travel and allowing storage of up to 10 bits of optical information.
It’s not quite like catching lightning in a bottle, but researchers at computing giant IBM say they have found a way to harness photons, a breakthrough that could pave the way for ultrafast computers that use light instead of electrons to process information.
