31 Oct 2006,Breakthrough NTU nanophotonic technology
to revolutionise information and communications technology
industry
An NTU research team has developed a nanophotonic technology
which can potentially increase data transmission speeds by
up to 1000 times. This breakthrough nanophotonic
technology can possibly revolutionise the design of devices such as
computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistants and wireless
network adapters, in the information and communications technology
industry. Led by Associate Professor Liu Ai Qun from NTU's School
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the research team hopes
to conduct further research in this field to build a "nanophotonic
circuit" made up entirely of optical components instead of
electrical components. The NTU research team is also looking for
interested industry partners to commercialise the breakthrough
technology.
