IBM developed a new chip that will use light rather than electrical
signals to transmit the data for future computing and internet
data transmission.
The new technology consists of dubbed silicon nanophotonics. The result is integrated
electrical and optical components on a single silicon chip, using the
sub 100nm semiconductor process, that can offer solution to Big Data challenges, that have to do with connecting various parts of
large systems, whether there are few centimeters or few kilometers apart from each
other and move terabytes of data using pulses of light, delivered through
optical fibers.
So 10 years of experimentation on the new technology, resulted into obtaining transmit rates about 25Gbps per channel, which are ideal for future highly demanding systems and multiplexing through communication.
