Scientists have fashioned a way to eliminate the problem of splitting light from quantum dot lasers: by simply coupling two together.
A team from the University of Utah, Georgia Institute of Technology, Hongik University in South Korea, and the Air Force Research Laboratory banded together to find a way to find a way to correct the defect in quantum dots. Their work, if successful, can one day enable microchips that code information using light instead of electrons.
A paper on the effort was published in the journal Nature Communications.
