Record-setting 2.75 gigahertz LED designed for fast, energy-efficient data centers

The gallium nitride device uses just 25 milliwatts and could replace higher-power lasers in short-range data center links, researchers said.

Summary by TechXplore
A collaboration between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Grainger College of Engineering and the University of Notre Dame has broken the world record for optical switching speed in quantum well LEDs. The gallium nitride micro-LED device has an optical modulation bandwidth of 2.75 gigahertz while consuming just 25 milliwatts of power. Its design was optimized to bring newfound speed and efficiency to communication links in data cente…
