Giant clam inspired photo-conversion highlighted by Photonics Focus

Giant clam inspired photo-conversion for high-speed communication work highlighted in the September issue of Photonics Focus Magazine.

"Reporting in Optical Materials Express, the researchers peg their interest on the intensifying need for high-capacity optical communication links as the Internet of Things undergoes explosive growth. The iridocytes' natural ability to manipulate light, including UV wavelengths, is tantalizing to the researchers because the higher- frequency light can accommodate high-bandwidth optical communications and data transfer.​"
