Caltech’s tiny new chip can steer light in 74 quadrillionths of a second

Light can transmit huge amounts of information at extraordinary speed, which is why photonic technologies are being explored for faster communications, more powerful computing, and highly sensitive sensors. To make those systems work, however, researchers need precise ways to control the direction of light and change it extremely quickly.
