| مستخلص: |
The conversion of data from optical to electrical and that from electrical to optical are key functions in optical communications. Obviously, optical data can go down optical fibers only in optical form, but processing it - for example, to remove accumulated noise or to add or drop data streams - requires digitized electrical pulses. Until now, this conversion and reconversion process has been complicated and costly because of the many components needed to do the job. But new technology from the Infinera Corp. promises to make the transformations simple and inexpensive by combining more than 50 optical components onto just two photonic integrated circuits. |
