opticumbased
Opticumbased is a term used to describe a design paradigm in which optical technologies play a central role in data processing and information transport, rather than serving only as a signaling medium. In this usage, systems combine photonic components—such as waveguides, modulators, detectors, and integrated photonic circuits—with conventional electronic processing, aiming to create workloads that leverage light’s high bandwidth and low latency.
Principles associated with opticumbased include offloading certain computational tasks to optical paths where possible, using optical
Potential applications cited in speculative and early-stage research include high-performance computing, data center interconnects, real-time sensing,
Given its niche and evolving usage, definitions of opticumbased vary among communities. It is related to, but
