IBM claiming ultra-fast optical comms with carbon chips Oct 13, 2009
The 40-GHz graphene photodetector demonstration matched IBM's earlier demonstration of a , the second component needed for bi-directional carbon chip-based optical transceivers ... "Graphene can form the basis of a very fast photodetector that has unique properties, despite the fact that graphene doesn't have a bandgap," said IBM Fellow Phaedon Avouris, who oversees its carbon-based materials efforts ... Photodetectors work by separating the electron-hole pairs generated by the energy of... (EETimes)
Herschel's first images promise bright future Jul 14, 2009
Meanwhile, the Photodetector Array Camera (PACS) soaked up the sights of the Cat's Eye Nebula as its first target, which consists of a complex shell of gas shed by a dying star. To understand how an initially spherical star can create such intricate nebula, PACs takes images in spectral lines to see how the wind from the star shapes the nebula in three dimensions.

Method To Integrate Plasmon-based Nanophotonic Circuitry With State-of-the-art ICs Developed May 8, 2009
The detection was done by embedding a photodetector in a metal plasmon waveguide. Because the waveguide and the photodetector have the same nanoscale dimensions, there is an efficient coupling of the surface plasmons into the photodetector and an ultrafast response. (Science Daily)
