Researchers from EPFL’s Photonics Systems Lab have come up with a way of reconfiguring microwave photonic filters without the need for an external device. This paves the way for more compact, environmentally friendly filters that will be more practical and cheaper to use. Potential applications include detection and communications systems. The researchers’ findings have recently been published in Nature Communications.
Photons look set to replace electrons in countless tasks, since they move fa…
