Deuterium enables chip waveguides to generate broadband light from infrared pulses
Researchers in Singapore have developed a low-loss silicon nitride waveguide using deuterium to generate broadband light on a chip. This innovation could significantly improve the efficiency and scalability of technologies like medical imaging and optical clocks.
Why it matters
Advancements in chip-scale photonics are essential for miniaturizing high-precision technologies that currently require bulky, power-intensive equipment.
