Article Abstract:

Light may be used to transmit information in future telecoms networks. Ultra-dense wave division multiplexing, and erbium-doped-fiber amplifiers, are two of the new developments in this field. Meanwhile, the company Nanovation is developing waveguides to guide photons so that they can travel using curves. Optical resonators canbe used to make switches. These developments could mean that personal wavelengths are used in place of phone numbers.
