Revolutionizing Telecommunications with Excitons in Semiconductor Technology: A Breakthrough in Nonlinear Optics
The pursuit of faster, more efficient, and secure telecommunications has led researchers to explore the potential of excitons in semiconductor technology. Excitons are bound pairs of electrons and holes that form when light interacts with a semiconductor material. Recently, scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery, demonstrating a giant nonlinear optical response in a two-dimensional device made of three atomic layers of tungsten di-selenide (WSe2). This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the field of telecommunications and computing.
