Photonic Chip

Caption

A schematic drawing shows an electro-optical modulator developed in the lab of Qiang Lin, professor of electrical and computer engineering. The smallest such component yet developed, it takes advantage of lithium niobate, a "workhorse" material used by researchers to create advanced photonics integrated circuits.
