'Tuning in' to a fast and optimized internet

[tamim_saif]

New filter with the widest tuning span ever demonstrated on a silicon chip could help provide the low-cost flexibility needed for the next generation of high-speed optical networks

The path toward an even faster internet has been hindered by energy consumption and cost per optical component. Researchers have designed a tunable filter -- an important component of high-capacity optical networks -- that should save both money and energy because it can be readily integrated onto a photonic chip.
