Hey Reds,

The biggest power drain in photonic circuits is the light source. This article speaks about invention of a light source on silicon which might require less power and could be cheaper to make. That's valuable.

"Optical transceivers have revolutionized data communications, and tens of millions of these devices are used to send billions of bits of data all over the internet and inside data centers every second," said Shayan Mookherjea, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. "But these transceivers contain lasers that are made using compound semiconductors, not silicon—which would be more manufacturable and cheaper. The fact that silicon can be used to make a quantum photonic pair source, and that its spectral properties can be fine-tuned easily is exciting from a technological point of view."
