Abstract

Bright future for ‘optical’ silicon With the growing use of optoelectronics in information technology, manipulating light is almost as important as manipulating electrons. Unfortunately silicon, workhorse of modern microelectronics, is next to useless in optical applications. There has been a massive effort to overcome silicon's inadequacies, and ways of coaxing silicon to handle light are under development but a key component — the laser — has been problematic. Last year a silicon laser was produced, but it involved metres of optical fibre. Now workers in Intel's research labs have come up with an all-silicon laser on a single chip. The device is compact and readily integrated with other silicon components.
