Researchers have developed a nanoscale, highly efficient optical data, with the goal of significantly reducing energy consumption. (Electrical Engineering at Stanford University Image)

Researchers have developed a nanoscale, highly efficient optical data transmitter or semiconductor laser, the key to which is a multi-layered nanophotonic layered wafer, the holes of which are almost perfectly round with smooth interior walls and act like a hall of mirrors to reflect photons back toward the center of the laser.
