Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, have developed a novel type of photodetector that occupies far less space than conventional devices. The component has a base area of less than one millionth of a square millimeter without the data transmission rate being affected adversely. The corresponding article is published in theOptica journal. (Reference: DOI:10.1364/OPTICA.3.000741)
