Scientists have developed a new laser amplifier that can transmit information 10 times faster than current technology by expanding the bandwidth of light beams.
The amplifier, made of silicon nitride, boasts a bandwidth of 300 nanometers, enabling it to transmit more data per second than existing systems.
The technology uses spiral-shaped waveguides to efficiently direct laser pulses and remove signal anomalies on a miniaturized chip.
The new amplifier opens up possibilities for various applications in medical imaging, holography, spectroscopy, and microscopy, along with potential advancements in light-based systems for diagnostics and treatments.
