ComputingResearch brief
What if a chip could bend—and let you see through it?
A silicon-photonics fabrication process brings flexibility and transparency together, opening a different design space for optical devices.
FIELD 03
Computing.
Separate the parts that carry information from the parts that compute, and connect a new chip claim to the underlying mechanism.
START WITH THE FUNDAMENTALS
What changes when a chip carries information with light?
Photonics changes how a signal is carried and manipulated. The benefit depends on the complete system, including conversion and packaging.
