Cheaper optics-chip link on tap One of the best ways to speed up the Internet would be to extend all the way to the home the fiber-optic lines that make up the Net's backbone. One piece of the fiber-to-the-home puzzle is a low-cost way of converting light pulses to electrical signals. A new semiconductor may do the trick. |
