Laser technology is not a foreign thing anymore, but has it ever occurred to the laser will be used for the processor? A recent development found in the University of California, Berkeley have discovered methods for growing nanolasers in silicon.
This discovery that made him feel optimistic for the production of new generation processors from the laser. Previously, researchers have tried to make Chio made of silicon and semiconducting material called "III-V" (three-five), but this approach proved to have a problem. This process can indeed be done, but the materials will get damaged during the process, said Roger Chen, a graduate of UC Berkeley researchers.
Not the first time also that the transmission of light studied and explored more in order to transmit data. Intel has done a variety of light to use light as a method of data transfer that may replace USB 3.0. Is it true that laser technology will be used in the processor in the future? It could happen but it is still unknown how many years it took to wait for him.
