With record-breaking speeds for fiber-optic data transmission, University of Illinois engineers have paved a fast lane on the information superhighway—creating on-ramps for big data in the process.
Graduate researcher Michael Liu will present the research team’s developments in oxide-VCSEL technology, which underpins fiber-optic communications systems, at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition today in Anaheim, California. The research team was led by electrical and computer engineering professor Milton Feng—who will be in attendance at the conference—and also included professor emeritus Nick Holonyak Jr. and graduate researcher Curtis Wang.
