Photonics discovery portends dramatic efficiencies in silicon chips – Phys.org
A team led by Vanderbilt engineers has achieved the ability to transmit two different types of optical signals across a single chip at the same time.

A team led by Vanderbilt engineers has achieved the ability to transmit two different types of optical signals across a single chip at the same time.
The breakthrough heralds a potentially dramatic increase in the volume of data a silicon chip can transmit over any period of time. With this project, the research team moved beyond theoretical models and demonstrated dual-band optical processing, significantly expanding the functionality of silicon as a photonics platform.
