Linking with light [high-speed optical interconnects].

Having proven their worth in long-distance communications, photons will soon take over inside the computer. So some researchers say that, within just a few years, many of the copper connections in computers will yield to high-speed optical interconnects, in which photons, rather than electrons, will...
