  • i thought this was an optical ic!

  • It is a photonic ic for networks. Capacity = 100 Gigabits/second.

  • Can't wait for the transition to optical CPUs.

  • I can't wait to get my 10 Terrabit internet conection at home.

  • Why they have to put a robotic female voice? xDDDD

  • What is the difference between intel's hybrid silicon laser and Infinera's PIC?

  • The information itself is still running at electric speed -_- we need transistors and processors that operate WITH light and not electricity. Imagine a computer that can process billions and billions of Exabytes a second making every single process instantaneous to us. This is not it, this is a simple conversion of data running at the speed of electricity to a light medium, so it can travel long distances without any delay, still nonetheless processing at electric speed. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • wow I knew about information encoded into light but I never thought that you could encode different streams into colors and send them on a single wire (because of course light doesn't interfere with itself), and then single them out with prisms or stuff. Really awesome stuff!!

  • photons look like erythrocytes?

  • It's nice I like it

  • It is.

  • every time

  • Hooray! Closer to Holo-bands!
