Chromosol’s silicon photonics system tackles data transfer bottleneck
Technology for integrating lasers directly into photonic circuits could accelerate replacement of large and expensive optical systems
As the lines between the digital world and our physical lives become increasingly blurred, the amount of data we deal with skyrockets. With that in mind, the importance of fast and reliable data transfer has never been more clear. But all of that demand places stress on whatever has to handle it. Data centres, where data is now being processed in the Zettabytes – that’s 1021 – have to constantly be looking ahead.
