Inside most photonic chips, light races through tiny optical wires. It carries information far faster than electricity can in many conventional systems.

MIT researchers have built a nanoscale photonic device shaped like a tiny ski jump that launches laser light directly off a ...

A new chip uses light instead of electricity to run AI calculations. It processes data very fast and may reduce the power needed for AI systems.

Engineers are turning what used to be a bulky optics bench into something that fits on the tip of a finger, and the latest photonic chips go a step further by splitting a single laser into a ...
