Engineers Move Toward Using Light Instead of Wires Inside Computers

Using a new algorithm, engineers from Stanford University have developed a prism-like device that can split a beam of light into different colors and bend the light at right angles, a development that could eventually lead to computers that use optics, rather than electricity, to carry data. They describe what they call an “optical link” […]
