Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a plasmonic receiver that can convert millimetre waves directly into light for an optical fibre. “Our modulator is completely independent of external power supplies and, on top of that, extremely small so that it can, in principle, be mounted on any lamppost. From there, it can then receive data ...
