The silicon solution [silicon photonics].

The silicon solution [silicon photonics].

As newer, faster microprocessors roll out, the copper connections that feed those processors within computers and servers will prove inadequate to handle huge amounts of data. To address this concern, this paper proposes the replacement of the copper with optical fiber and the electrons with photons...
