Research Bits: Jan. 28


Optical memory unit Researchers from Nokia Bell Labs developed a new type of optical memory called a programmable photonic latch that enables temporary data storage in optical processing systems. It is modeled after a set-reset latch. The integrated programmable photonic latch is based on optical universal logic gates using silicon photonic micro-ring modulators and can be implemented in co... » read more
