Chromosol is commercialising optical amplifiers for semiconductors that transmit data via light pulses rather than as electrical signals.
Commercialisation firm IP Group has provided an undisclosed amount of seed funding to Chromosol, a UK-based optical communications developer spun out of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
Chromosol will seek to develop advanced optical amplifiers that transmit data as light emitted onto semiconductors, removing the need for conversion into electricity so the data can be sent down copper wires.
If the spinout is successful, it would mean reduced cooling overheads for processing-intensive businesses such as data farms or supercomputers.…
