  1. Nature Paper Link on Intel Devises Chip Speed Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Here is a link to the Nature article (sorry if this is a repost). You can't print the article, so you must use your PDF cracking skills to turn on the print ability.

    Intel researchers have developed a silicon-based optical modulator operating at 1GHz an increase of over 50 times the previous research record of about 20MHz. Their technological breakthrough was announced in a paper," (.pdf, 233KB), in the prestigious scientific journal Nature. Fabricated in an Intel Fab using Intel's existing high-volume manufacturing processes, the device incorporates a transistor-like structure to encode data onto a wavelength of light.

    The original report on this research was published in Nature, Volume 428 dated 12 February. A copy of the paper and more information about Intel's silicon photonics research can be found here.
