RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:LASER ON SILICON!!OCTUPUKE- GET IT RIGHT- This is what they said::::::: Photonics is the most energy-efficient and cost-effective method to transmit large volumes of data over long distances. Until now, laser light sources for such applications were off chip -- missing -- from the component, Lau explained. Our work enables on-chip integration of lasers, an [indispensable] component, with other silicon photonics and microprocessors. The researchers expect to see this technology emerge in the market within 10 years. 10 years out - Maybe!! A non issue for Ptk. Take a break- come back in 10 years and I will discuss with you. I'm sure I will have wifi on my yacht in Monaco. Cheer up Octupus, have a big bucket of poutine w/ extra gravy- its good for your heart- trust me. lol
