Tiny “Rainbow” Chip Could Enable Faster, Higher-Capacity 6G

The growing demand for faster wireless communications is driving researchers to explore higher-frequency signals that can provide greater bandwidth and data capacity. Researchers at Loughborough University’s Emergent Photonics Research Center, working with international collaborators, have developed a chip-based system that could help address challenges involved in generating precise and stable millimeter-wave signals for future technologies. At the heart of the technology is a microcomb, a prec
