IMAGINE if the Internet or electronic circuits are powered by light instead of electricity. This could be possible with the launch of a new institute devoted to photonics and optics research at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), which has received funding of S$100 million for current projects.
The Photonics Institute will focus on light-enabling technology such as those found in fibre-optic cables, lasers and consumer products including DVD or Blu-ray devices and even remote controls.
