New method makes mid-infrared light detectable at room temperature

Aug 28, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the University of Birmingham and the University of Cambridge have developed a new method for detecting mid-infrared (MIR) light at room temperature using quantum systems. The research, published in Nature Photonics ("Single-molecule mid-infrared spectroscopy and detection through vibrationally assisted luminescence"), was conducted at...

Multiwavelength high speed quantum well nanowire array micro-LED for next-generation on-chip optical communication

Aug 28, 2023 (Nanowerk News) As the number of cores in a processor continues to grow, so too does the challenge of connecting them all together. Traditional electrical networks fall short due to latency, limited bandwidth, and high-power consumption. Researchers have long sought for a better alternative, and on-chip nanophotonic...
