Intel silicon modulator to the computer system

February 2nd, 2007

U.S. company Intel silicon-based optical modulator can be developed by 8000, will increase the number of images per second for the laser beam coding Intel (Intel), the researchers recently developed the world’s fastest silicon-based optical modulator — such equipment can be converted into a series of pulse laser beam, 1 and 0, thus creating a digital optical signal. Maybe only five to ten years.

This new device will help designers develop optical signals associated with many computer chips, thus the computational capabilities of this machine will be upgraded to a new realm.

At present, the computer sales market has been able to support two or more microprocessors — they are connected with copper wire. The aim is for electronic transmission. Researchers hope that the computer chip has been linked with hundreds of processors, and also for computation. However, such structures are not able to deal with the copper wires of all electronic signal transmission requirements. And the optical flow in the form of lines to transmit digital pulses to 1 and 0, thus multiplying the load transmission.
