“As more and more devices compete for bandwidth, we can expect more bottlenecks and more interference from nearby competing antennas, said Matthew Chang, a Ph.D. student in Prucnal’s lab. To handle the constant growth in demand for capacity and bandwidth, optical solutions are needed.
“With a frequency 1 million times bigger than radio waves, optics sees the entire current radio-wave spectrum as practically a single frequency,” Chang said. “In terms of its ability to provide the bandwidth for a growing army of mobile phones, we say it’s future proof.””
