Research project could help create computers that run on light

A new research project begins soon which could be an important step in bringing the dream of photonic computers – devices run using light rather than electronics – onto the desktop. Physicists at the University of Bath will be looking at developing attosecond technology – the ability to send out light in a continuous series of pulses that last only an attosecond, one billion-billionth of a second.
