New Optical Component Enables Ultrahigh Speed Network

Professor Bahram Jalali

Outcome/accomplishment

A new generation of ultrahigh-speed optical networking devices was demonstrated as a viable commercial product by a team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The system features a key component that sends data signals through a light beam made of polymer technology, a longtime goal of network researchers.

Integrating Nanolaser On Silicon Offers A Bright Future For Previously Unattainable Technology

Outcome/accomplishment:
Researchers at the University of California-Berkeley, part of the Center for Integrated Access Networks (CIAN), an NSF-funded Engineering Research Center headquartered at the University of Arizona, have developed a method for integrating nanolasers on silicon. This accomplishment is a crucial step toward marrying electronic devices and photonic devices, which operate by using light. By augmenting electronics with optics, powerful new functionalities can be realized.
