Nanolasers for faster microprocessors

WASHINGTON: Engineers have found a way to grow nanolasers - lasers able to produce beams at nanoscale - directly onto a silicon surface, potentially opening the way to a new class of faster and more efficient microprocessors.

"Our results impact a broad spectrum of scientific fields, including materials science, transistor technology, laser science, optoelectronics and optical physics," said Connie Chang-Hasnain, the study's principal investigator and computer sciences professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
