| Sumario: | The article offers the author's view on optical transistor and information handling. He mentions its significant role in the Internet and communication as well as challenges in computation. He notes the evolution of electronics and increased factor of computer clock rates without the aid the transistors. He notes a quote from Alan Huang of Holmdel, New Jersey-based research and development firm Bell Labs stating the use of optical components by supercomputers. He also presents a test chip from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that merges optical and electrical parts. |
