Cost Effective Method Developed for Co-Packaging Photonic and Electronic Chips

MIT device could deliver more energy-efficient computing, communications - Electronic Products & Technology

The future of digital computing and communications will involve both electronics—manipulating data with electricity—and photonics, or doing the same with light. Together the two could allow exponentially more data traffic across the globe in a process that is also more energy efficient. “The bottom line is that integrating photonics with electronics in the same package is the transistor for the 21st century. If we can’t figure out how to do that…
