New Speed Record For Reliable Reading Of Optical Data With Compact Ultra-fast Component May Help Improve Circuit Design

Sliced light is how we communicate now. This slicing and dicing is generally done with an electro-optic modulator. Reading that fast data stream with a compact and reliable receiver is another matter. A new error-free speed-reading record using a compact ultra-fast component -- 640 Gbits/second (Gbps, or billion bits per second) -- has now been established.
