Photon processors use light to carry information and operate at high frequencies. Intel is developing all-silicon lasers to move data, while Luxtera plans to produce optical modulators for photon processors to reach speeds of up to 10 GHz. This technology is expected to trickle down to consumers by 2010-2015. Photon processors are a practical use […]
Photons are elementary particles that make up electromagnetic radiation and carry the electromagnetic force. They have no mass, no electric charge, and travel at the speed of light. They can behave like both particles and waves, and interact with matter in various ways. The concept of photons is linked to the development of quantum theory, […]
