Intel Develops First Hybrid Silicon Laser

19 Sep, 2006, 3:00 pm IST | by Gaurav Seth | Desktops

Researchers from Intel Corporation and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) have built the world’s first electrically powered Hybrid Silicon Laser using standard silicon manufacturing processes.

According to Mario Paniccia, Director of Intel’s Photonics Technology Lab, it could bring low-cost, terabit-level optical 'data pipes' inside future computers and help make possible a new era of high-performance computing applications.

This is particularly interesting and shows how the industry and academicians can work together to take further the state of Science and Technology, as pointed out by John Browers, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC Santa Barbara.

Now we are wondering, what’s AMD thinking?
