Silicon-based semiconductor brought about the revolution in electronics and computing in the late 20th century. A new revolution in information and computing technology is being fomented by the idea of replacing electrons by photons as carriers of information. Photons are faster than electrons and can convey huge amounts of data with low power loss. The linchpin in the new optoelectronic technology is the photonic crystal, made of periodically repeating elements of disparate dielectric constants. By steering light along precise paths through such crystals, we can produce the photonic counterpart of semiconductors---photonic chips and optical integrated circuits---which will potentially revolutionize telecommunication and computing technologies.

总部位于硅的半导体带来了20世纪后期电子和计算的革命。通过将电子作为信息载体代替电子的想法，信息和计算技术的新革命正在引起人们的影响。光子比电子快，可以传达大量的数据，并且低功率损失。新的光电技术中的Linchpin是光子晶体，由定期重复的介电常数的元素制成。通过沿着这些晶体的精确路径转向光，我们可以产生半导体的光子对应物---光子芯片和光学整合电路 - 这可能会彻底改变电信和计算技术。
