South Korea to develop a comprehensive performance of optical chip is 1000 times more

Thursday local time, South Korea Research Institute unveiled an optical chip. According to the Research Institute, said the overall performance of the optical chip than existing chips increased by more than 1000 times. The research institute is (POSTECH Pohang University of Pohang University of Science and Technology Science and Technology Kwon O-dae) research organization under the leadership of a professor. The research organization uses the world's first quantum dot (photonic quantum ring (PQR)) laser technology to create this optical chip. It is said that the newly developed optical chip can make the optical fiber technology more than 10 years ahead of schedule.

This quantum dot laser technology was developed by the research team three years ago. The new technology uses only a small portion of the conventional laser current to make a chip, so it emits very low heat. The chip fabricated by this method can greatly improve the overall performance of the whole chip.

Kwon said that the quantum chip manufacturing ring laser technology called "Omega", the current optical chip when the nanometer level, the manufacturing method of ultra can create a "lightweight" chip, usually many device provides cooling system size, such as computer. The newly developed chips do not need to be installed in the traditional semiconductor chip cooling system required.

Due to the current development of the new chip in the use of no current, the battery life of such a device can be used for a long time. Kwon said that the leading manufacturers Samsung Electronics Development of the display panel in the use of the essence does not require energy, but this panel also has a higher resolution and bright colors. He added that this technology can be used to create smaller cell phone display panels and special large display panels.

Kwon pointed out that the newly developed technology can be directly put into commercial use, Omega chip in some major industrial countries are applying for patents. It can also be used in a cheap, highly efficient, high-speed Internet connection.

At present, some Internet service companies have been using optical cable, but because of the high cost and technical difficulties, many families still rely on copper wire. Scientists said that due to the emergence of the Omega chip, home users can enjoy the same quality of Internet service cable.

Kwon said that the development of new optical chip will likely trigger some future technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles. These intelligent transmission system is one of the 10 most important technologies selected by the United States in the June 2000 times weekly in twenty-first Century. Some experts said the new system would take 10 to 20 years to become a reality.

The professor said that in the new field of development, walking in the forefront of the world's Korea Companies to disclose this approach, which is a major breakthrough for his development team. All the technologies they developed are suitable for domestic use. He said, Omega chip technology may be at a lower cost, in a relatively short period of time to contribute to advanced chip manufacturing enterprises.
