Laser Light on Silicon
By Ashish MohtaIts a world know fact that Silicon is not a good light emmitor,but Intel has come with new type of silicon that can emit lights this mean it can transfer data on a beam of light.
Currently in all microprocessors data transfer is based on copper wires to reroute between million of transistors which form a network like human nervous system.But if lasers are used it will completely revolutionizes the whole progress.
Its combination of emitting properties of “Indium Phosphite” and light-routing properties of silicon.Although silicon is not a good emitter,it does have capacity to confine and route light.Silicon has made its way into everything from computers to cameras. But a silicon laser? Physically impossible – until now. A Brown University research team led by Jimmy Xu has engineered the first directly pumped silicon laser by changing the structure of the silicon crystal through a novel nanoscale technique.
