AI Demands Speed: A Photonics Platform Can Deliver It

Lun, 03/03/2025 - 11:13

As the technology world settles into 2025, the race is on to achieve 1.6 Tbps and 3.2 Tbps — speeds that are critical for the future generations of high-performance computing solutions for the data center industry. Hyperscale data centers, which are increasingly driven by demands from artificial intelligence (AI) hardware and software developers, require far more bandwidth than early-iteration data centers to satiate the global desire for advancements in medical technology, wearables, robotics, automotive, financial services, and other sectors. Large language models, at the root of AI development and machine learning, can only get “smarter” by having more data and faster times.

A Photonic Solution Facilitates Scale-Up Networks in AI Data Centers

Lun, 03/03/2025 - 09:15

At a time when AI processors (XPUs) are firmly in the limelight, interconnects are the true unsung heroes of AI infrastructure. This is true not only in the present, but also with an eye toward the future. With trillion-parameter generative AI models now a reality, focus has shifted from the system on chip (SoC) to the system of chips.

Fluorescence Microscopy Resolution Increased by Factor of 30

Lun, 03/03/2025 - 08:00

Superresolution microscopes, like the Nobel Prize-winning stimulated emission depletion (STED) and photo-activated localization/stochastic optical reconstruction (PALM/STORM) microscopes, provide resolutions of a fraction of the wavelength of light. But in order to image adjacent fluorescent molecules separately, they must be sequentially switched between a fluorescent (ON) and a nonfluorescent (OFF) state.

A team of scientists led by Stefan Hell has now increased the resolution by a factor of 30 for the first time without molecular ON/OFF switching. By using an illumination beam with a zero-intensity stripe (node) in the beam they were able to separate constantly emitting molecules down to distances of a few nanometers. The study...

Terahertz Wave Generator Delivers High Radiating Power on a Chip

Jue, 02/27/2025 - 08:00

A chip-based source for terahertz power could improve the efficiency of electronic devices and chip-based applications. But generating terahertz waves on a semiconductor chip is difficult.

To meet this challenge, a team at MIT created a chip-based, terahertz amplifier-multiplier system that achieves high radiating power within a streamlined design. The compact device for generating terahertz on a chip could be used to improve data transmission, medical imaging, high-resolution radar, environmental monitoring, and many other applications.

One approach to generating terahertz waves on a chip is to use a CMOS, chip-based amplifier-multiplier chain that increases the frequency of radio waves until the waves reach the terahertz...
