Terabit chip revisited

The team behind the 640 Gbit/s demultiplexer chip
CUDOS team

Over the last week, plenty of news outlets have been running stories on an optical waveguide that performs 640 Gbit/s demultiplexing. We’re not ignoring the story, it’s just that we covered it last summer. You can read about it here:

Photonic chip chases terabit processing.

As the article explains, there’s plenty of work to be done to make a prototype, let alone a product. As far as I can see, the main development since last summer is that the researchers have now published their work in a journal. But although this is only an R&D project, I think it’s a very interesting one.
