High-Speed Data Transfer Enabled by Tiny Black Holes-Based Photodetector

A silicon wafer has tiny “black holes” that act as a new form of photodetector for potentially moving more data across a data center or around the world, in a less expensive manner. Electrical engineers at the University of California, Davis, and a Silicon Valley startup, based at Los Altos, California, called W&WSens Devices Inc., have developed this technology, which is reported in the April 3 issue of Nature Photonics.
