(PhysOrg.com) -- "One of the most important goals in the optics community is to create and manipulate light on chip," Yinan Zhang tells PhysOrg.com. "This is especially important when it comes to improving the performance of semiconductor lasers with increasingly small device size. This device improvement, owing to recent developments in nanotechnology, will enable a high integration capacity of photonic devices in the future. This could take place in a fashion similar to what has happened to the semiconductor electronic industry."
