  • Fujitsu Laboratories Develops Compact Silicon Photonics Light Source for High-Bandwidth CPU Interconnects Kawasaki, Japan, Global, September 16, 2011 - Fujitsu Laboratories Limited today announced the development of a compact silicon photonics light source for use in optical transceivers required for optical interconnects capable of carrying large volumes of data at high speeds between CPUs. In the past, when the silicon photonics light sources built into optical transceivers, and the optical modulators that encode data into the light emitted from the light source experienced thermal fluctuations, a mismatch between the lasing wavelength of the light source and the operating wavelength of the modulator could arise, causing concern that the light would not carry information. This is why thermal control has become indispensable as a way to maintain operating wavelengths that consistently match. By introducing a mechanism that automatically keeps the light source's wavelength and the modulator's operating wavelength in sync, Fujitsu Laboratories has obviated the need for a thermal control mechanism, allowing for the device to be smaller and more energy efficient.

The new diabetes support service, called "Karada Life: Diabetes Support" - "karada" is the Japanese word for "body" - will be offered through Fujitsu. Up until now, diabetics had to rely on hand-written tracking for self-management of their disease, but this new service will make it easier to carry out these responsibilities that are essential to diabetes care, by performing functions such as automatically recording blood glucose levels. The service is expected to be launched at the end of June 2011.
