New progress was made in the field of photonic computer R&D. A team of computer electronics engineers from Duke University in the US developed a LED tube that can realize ultra-fast switching. The ability to switch 90 billion times per second enables it to replace the previous LED technology. It forms the hardware foundation of the photonic computer. Researchers at Duke University in the United States have recently developed ultra-fast light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that break the speed record of fluorescent molecules emitting photons, 1,000 times that of the ordinary class, and have taken an important step towards ultrafast LED and quantum cryptography.
McCann Mickelson, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics at Duke University, said: “This is a breakthrough that the scientific community has always wanted. We can now apply this research to ultra-fast conversion equipment. There are many exciting things." The university's engineers accelerated the photon emission rate to an unprecedented level by adding fluorescent molecules between the metal nanocubes and the gold film.
Photonic computers are new types of computers that perform digital operations, logic operations, information storage, and processing from optical signals. It consists of lasers, optical reflectors, lenses, filters and other optical components and devices. The laser beam enters an array of mirrors and lenses for information processing, photons instead of electrons, and optical operations instead of electrical operations. The parallel and high speed of light naturally determines the parallel processing capability of the photonic computer, and it has extremely high computing speed.
