Intel researchers published development of first cw all-silicon Raman laser on Nature.
In a paper published by the prestigious scientific journal Nature, Intel researchers disclosed the development of the first continuous wave all-silicon laser using a physical property called the Raman Effect. They built the experimental device using Intel’s existing standard CMOS high-volume manufacturing processes. This is the third silicon photonics paper Intel has published in Nature in the past year, beginning with the modulator breakthrough in February 2004.
It is breakthrough in photonics technology. See full story and related articles at Silicon Photonics - Technology & Research at Intel.
