A team of researchers from the University of Sydney has managed to convert the digital information carried by light waves into sound waves inside a microchip.
As reported in Nature Communications, the researchers were able to build a chip that slows down light by turning it into sound waves.
“The information in our chip in acoustic form travels at a velocity five orders of magnitude slower than in the optical domain,”
CUDOS researchers are turning optical data into readable sound waves
- World-first transfer of light to acoustic information on a chip
- Acoustic buffer parks photonic information in a sound wave for later retrieval
- Hybrid chips will be useful in telecommunications networks and cloud computing
Here is video demonstration:
