Potential Impact of Photonics on Data Centre Energy Use
Data centres consume large quantities of copper for their electrical and data systems, but there is a growing interest in photonics technology, which uses light for data transmission. This shift could lead to reduced energy consumption and heat generation in data centres. Experts highlight the need for overcoming engineering challenges and adapting manufacturing processes to fully realize the benefits of photonics.
