Each 10-[micro]m-wide S-SEED device, the optical equivalent of an electronic transistor, can turn on and off a billion times a second, AT&T says.

In a separate project, Hinton, one of the S-SEED inventors, is using the chips to make a telephone switching machine compatible with fiber optics.

The S-SEEDs have found many uses, both inside and outside Bell Labs.

Companies such as Honeywell Inc., Minneapolis, are buying S-SEEDs (which cost $14,000 per 32- x -64-element array), hoping to speed up their electronic products by connecting chips and processing units with light instead of wires, Hinton says.

Optical computing reaches a crossroads

Inside the optical processor are Symmetric Self-Electro-optic Effect Devices (S-SEEDs).

Again, the S-SEEDs are used as either logic devices, or memory cells, or crosspoints switches.

And then there was light
