In this edition of Following the Photons’ Light News:
Researchers in Hong Kong developed a metasurface-based optical learning machine that boosts optical neural network scalability.
Existing fiber-optic cables underground and under the sea in much of Europe could soon become more than just lines of communication. Thanks to a new initiative, they could someday double up as environmental monitoring sensor networks, too.
A new AI nanophotonic chip is showing promise to surpass the speed of those based on electrons to complete computations on a picosecond timescale.
Hailed a “Swiss army knife” for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), new optical waveguide microresonators are showing enormous potential for things like on-chip sensor technologies, telecommunications, metrology, and quantum information processing.
Using a Raman spectroscopy approach, a team of scientists can now safely examine and analyze Charles Darwin’s famous animal specimens without even opening their 200-year-old preservation jars.
