Guiding light is not just a soap opera
David L. Shenkenberg | Photonics
November 2009

BOSTON – Computers of the future may use light rather than electricity for logic functions. “There is this dream of the all-photonic circuit to guide light and perform functions,” commented Willie Padilla, a professor at Boston College. Such light-based computers could run much faster than ordinary ones. An all-photonic network also could make the Internet speedier. “It is estimated that an all-photonic Internet could transmit data at a couple hundred gigabits per second,” Padilla added. “This is ten thousand times faster than current high-speed connections.”
