THE RESEARCH and Development wing of Intel said that it, in conjunction with the University of California at Santa Barbara, has made the world's first hybrid silicon laser.
This, explained Intel breaks one of the last barriers to make high bandwidth silicon photonics devices cheaply.
The boffins and the boffinettes combined Indium Phosphide and element Silicon into one chip. When you bung voltage into the device, light is generated and enters the silicon waveguide to make a continuous laser beam.
