Engineers Make Leap in Optical Networks - New York Times

Engineers Make Leap in Optical Networks - New York Times: "A team of Stanford electrical engineers has discovered how to switch a beam of laser light on and off up to 100 billion times a second with materials that are widely used in the semiconductor industry.
The group used a standard chip-making process to design a central component of optical networking gear that is potentially more than 10 times as fast as the highest-performance commercial products available today."
