Nobel for Revolutionary Optical Technologies The Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to a fiber-optics pioneer and the inventors of digital-imaging chips. The State of the Global Telecosm The most notorious promoter of the 1990s telecom boom has been proved right. A quantum logic gate in an optical fiber could lay the foundation for a quantum computer network. Analyzing the Internet Collapse Multiple fiber cuts to undersea cables show the fragility of the Internet at its choke points. Data from the river will create a model for environmental monitoring. Intel Completes Photonics Trifecta A new light detector means all three core components of telecom networks can now be built in silicon. Infrared light-emitting nanowires could lead to optical communications on microchips. Organic crystals change shape and then go back to their original shape when exposed to light of different colors. A Cheaper Route to Speeding Up the Web A new silicon-based optical device has the potential to improve the speed, cost, and reach of fiber-optic networks. Foolproof Quantum Cryptography Adding decoy photons to quantum-cryptographic signals should finally make them "unconditionally secure." Intel Speeds Up Silicon Photonics Researchers at Intel have announced the world's fastest silicon modulator--an advance that could cut bandwidth costs and make computers run faster and cooler. A Nano Solution to Increasing Bandwidth MIT researchers develop microphotonic devices for communications, clearing the way for higher-performance optical networks. [1]
