Scientists' Next Generation Laser Technology Creates Lightspeed Broadband Connections
According to James Consulting, the European Union team of scientists is using the next generation of laser technology to create a light-speed broadband connection that eliminates Internet data bottlenecks caused by increased demand.The research team is funded by the European Union, consists of researchers from nine countries (Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Israel, France, Japan and South Korea) and 14 different organizations. The team calls itself 'PASSION', meaning: applied to future large-capacity metropolitan area networks, based on scalable spectrum/spatial aggregation of programmable transmission and switching module systems for photonics (creatively selecting letters in English words, the combination is abbreviated as PASSION).The team's researchers are using vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL), light sources and photonic integrated circuits, optical switches and semiconductor optical amplifiers to develop long-wave, high-capacity communi...
