New fibre: potential for higher bandwidth using less energy

TECHNOLOGY

A team of researchers at Penn State University has discovered a new method of improving semiconductor fibre optics. This may result in a material structure that will revolutionize data transmission.

High-quality, small-core single-crystal germanium fibers are photosensitive at near-infrared and have low optical losses ≈1 dB cm−1 at 2 μm.
