can you explain the mechanism for the bandwidth increase?<p>do the photovoltaics act as logic gates? doing calculations?<p>if the mechanism that is controlling the optics is electric:both transmitting and receiving; it would seem the throughput would be the same as pure electric<p>i understand fiber optic because light will travel a longer distance faster than an electric field propagated through wire, but these chips are built using atomic scale welding techniques(i)<p>(o) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=2071" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4&amp;feature=youtu.be...</a>
