Scientists from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom and Pennsylvania State University have joined hands to create a new type of optical fiber with high-speed optoelectronic capabilities that can be used to improve communications and other hybrid optoelectronic technologies. . The relevant research will be published in the "Natural and Photonics" magazine published in February.
John Harding, a chemist at Pennsylvania State University, explained: "It's very difficult to integrate the fiber and chip for the following reasons - first, the fiber is cylindrical and the chip is flat. In addition, the fiber and chip are too big. Small, the width of the fiber is only one-tenth that of human hair, and the chip on which the light guide path is built is only one-tenth of that of the fiber, so the two devices are well aligned to the existing technology. It is a huge challenge.†The research team adopted a novel method to solve the above-mentioned issues related to embedded technology. Instead of directly combining straight chips with cylindrical optical fibers, they use their own integrated electronic components. Instead of integrating the fiber directly on the chip, they use high-voltage chemical technology to transfer semiconductor materials. One layer is deposited directly into the micropores of the fiber, creating a new type of fiber.
"The biggest breakthrough for us is that we don't need to use the entire chip as part of the final product," said Pirsacio, a senior researcher at the Optoelectronics Research Center at the University of Southampton. "The traditional chip requires a multi-million dollar clean room facility." And our process can be accomplished using simpler equipment that is less costly.We also managed to create nodes within the fiber to allow all electronic activities to occur within this activity boundary, ensuring that the new product has very high optoelectronic performance. Anna Peckl of the Optoelectronics Research Center at the University of Southampton added: "For future communications networks, integrating the functions of optoelectronic devices into the fiber is an important technological advancement. In this sense, perhaps in the future We can use this to get a faster, cheaper, and more efficient system. Moreover, the latest research represents a completely new way of constructing semiconductor junctions. Therefore, it may also be applied to many non-communication fields.
