Researchers from ETH Zurich have integrated photonics and electronics on one chip. “If you convert the electronic signals into light signals using separate chips, you lose a significant amount of signal quality. This also limits the speed of data transmission using light,” says ETH researcher, Ueli Koch. The integration was achieved by placing the electronic ...
