Xerox researchers have developed, on a single silicon chip, technology that could help route high-capacity fiber optics "the last mile" to small businesses and homes. The technology, available for licensing, is drastically smaller and much cheaper than devices currently in use. The Optical MEMS switch is integrated with light circuits to route fiber optic signals. Although the information superhighway is here, the "off-ramps" are more like one-lane dirt roads because of the high cost of routing fiber optic networks that last mile. However, a new technology from Xerox could help change that, by assisting the effort to bring ...
