Loughborough University researchers develop a microchip-based 'rainbow on a chip' system, generating multiple stable, precisely spaced optical frequencies for potential 6G network enhancement and quantum technology applications.
AI-generated summary
The world's increasing demand for higher data transmission capacities drives the search for advanced technologies like 6G.
Scientists at Loughborough University and an international research team have built a tiny “rainbow on a chip” that can generate multiple precisely spaced frequencies of light at the same time. The microchip-based system could eventually help future 6G networks carry more signals simultaneously by converting the optical frequencies into millimetre waves. [...] End of Article
