Title Faster and more energy-efficient modulator sets to revolutionise optoelectronic industry Media name/outlet CityU NewsCentre, Hong Kong Media type Web Place Hong Kong, China Date 28/01/19 Description A research team comprising members from City University of Hong Kong (CityU), Harvard University and renowned information technologies laboratory Nokia Bell Labs has successfully fabricated a tiny on-chip lithium niobate modulator, an electro-optic modulator which is more efficient, with faster data transmission and lower costs. It is set to revolutionise the industry and CityU researchers are looking into its application for the coming 5G communication.
The electro-optic modulator produced in this breakthrough research is only 1 to 2 cm long and its surface area is about 1/100 the size of traditional ones. It is also highly efficient – transmitting data at rates up to 210 Gbit/second with less energy consumption and about 1/10 optical losses of existing modulators. This revolutionary invention is now on its way to commercialisation.
The research project, led by Professor Marko Lončar’s research team at Harvard University and titled “Integrated lithium niobate electro-optic modulators operating at CMOS-compatible voltages”, was published in the highly prestigious journal Nature, and Dr Wang Cheng, Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering at CityU is the co-first author of the paper.URL https://newscentre.cityu.edu.hk/media/news/2019/01/28/faster-and-more-energy-efficient-modulator-sets-revolutionise-optoelectronic-industry Persons Cheng WANG Title 城大哈佛聯手研發 新光電調制器 平夾快 Media name/outlet 東方日報電子報 Media type Web Place Hong Kong, China Date 28/01/19 Description 香港城市大學、美國哈佛大學及著名資訊科技實驗室——諾基亞貝爾實驗室專家組成的研究團隊，成功研製出一款小型、而且效率更高的光電調制器，能以更快及較低成本傳輸數據，相信會為光電業帶來革命性改變，亦可應用於未來5G通訊。 URL orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20190128/00176_038.html Persons Cheng WANG Title 城大研高效調制器促進5G發展 Media name/outlet 香港文匯報 Media type Web Place Hong Kong, China Date 28/01/19 Description 由城市大學、美國哈佛大學及諾基亞貝爾實驗室專家組成的研究團隊，日前成功研製出小型且效率更高的芯片鈮酸鋰光電調制器，能更快及以較低成本傳輸數據，或為光電業帶來革命性改變，並有望促進5G產業發展。相關研究已於權威期刊《自然》中發表。 Producer/Author 柴婧 URL paper.wenweipo.com/2019/01/28/ED1901280012.htm Persons Cheng WANG
