Optical Society of America Release: Optical Fiber Innovation Could Make Future Optical Computers a ‘SNAP’

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Optics and photonics may one day revolutionize computer technology with the promise of light-speed calculations. Storing light as memory, however, requires devices known as microresonators, an emerging technology that cannot yet meet the demands of computing. The solution, described in a paper published today in the Optical Society’s (OSA) journal Optics Letters, may lie in combining light’s eerie quantum properties with a previously unknown quality of optical fiber.
