Light connects two worlds on single chip as University of Twente develops ‘first integrated optocoupler’

By Matthew Peach

Researchers of the University of Twente, Netherlands, say that for the first time they have succeeded in connecting two parts of an electronics chip using an on-chip optical link. A light connection could, for example, be a safer means of connecting high-power electronics and digital control circuitry on one chip, without a direct electrical link. […]
