WOW that is A BIG F'in DEAL.
Looks like KCC was correct.
Resonant modulators encode electrical data onto wavelength-multiplexed optical carriers. Today, silicon microring modulators are perceived as promising to implement such links; however, they provide limited bandwidth and need thermal stabilization systems. Here we present plasmonic micro-racetrack modulators as a potential successor of silicon microrings: they are equally compact and compatible with complementary-metal–oxide–semiconductor-level driving voltages, but offer electro-optical bandwidths of 176?GHz, a 28?times improved stability against operating temperature changes and no self-heating effects. The temperature-resistant organic electro-optic material enables operation at 85?°C device temperature. We show intensity-modulated transmission of up to 408?Gbps at 12.3?femtojoules per bit with a single resonant modulator. Plasmonic micro-racetrack modulators offer a solution to encode high data rates (for example, the 1.6?Tbps envisioned by next-generation communications links) at a small footprint, with low power consumption and marginal, if no, temperature control.
The organic material used in this study, Lightwave Logic’s Perkinamine chromophore, has also been investigated for its stability and over-time degradation. A recent study shows that the electro-optic materials offer a high glass-transition temperature (>170?°C) and a decomposition temperature of >225?°C (ref. 44). These temperatures are far above the device’s operating temperatures and enable constant performance over a long time. The material has been tested for reliability in modulators for >5,000?h at 85?°C.
Folks we are getting there. In the past we always hoped to make Nature Magazine.
I haven't a clue who the shorts were listening to about this technology, what were they thinking? Cash onhand for over 1 year, no debt. 3 times the speed, 1/10 the power and STABLE. Solutions for the decades. Still say we get bought out.
