The advantage of this technology is based on the fact that in a cubic centimeter of a nonlinear optical material could be stored a quantity of information comparable to that as currently can be stored in a thousand of CDs.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the CPU (central processing unit) of a computer may have a volume of a few cubic centimeters so that to use it, we only need to adapt a screen and a keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>The new opto-electronic devices (combination of optical and electronic properties) based on technologies such as nano-photonic can also improve the information processing speed at levels comparable to speed of light in vacuum.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-8\">\n<p>Researchers in Cimav, design, construct and characterize photonic materials that enable them, among other things, control, amplify, redirect, multiply and transmit light to perform functions that can improve equivalent roles in the electronics field. Photonic nanostructures considered in this research are constructed from a silicon wafer with a deposition of thin films of metal oxides.
