TOMSK, Aug 18 – RIA Tomsk. Scientists of Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radiotronics (TUSUR) study ability of light "to record" information in special crystals it will be a basis of future optical computer which will work quicker than electronic computers, the press service of the higher education institution reports.
"TUSUR scientists developed a technique of an optical recording of photon structures in a crystal allowing to control luminous bundles. Further it can be used in creation of element basis for processing and data transfer devices on the basis of optical technologies – optical computers", – it is told in the message.
According to the higher education institution, such crystals are similar to printed circuit boards thanks to which there are processes in the computer and other devices. But in photonics light particles – photons are responsible for relocation of certain charged particles. Thus photon devices work quicker than the electronic.
It is emphasized that it was succeeded to receive result, having combined effects for the first time, which was known earlier: light refractions in a crystal and origin of an electric field in case of external impact on lithium niobate.
It is added that now scientists developed the experimental installation, and in the end of the year they plan to get the patent for this useful model.
