Russia backs optical chips from US

Moscow, Russia | Posted on May 19th, 2009

The conventional system performs a conversion of the optical signal passing through the fiber cable in electronic form and then back. The novel technologies perform only operations with the optical signal and shall drop electronic signal conversion. M-r Chubais estimates cost of that new chip in $20K. He expects that the development of the project will be done in an international cooperation with some nanotechnology companies. As he said: "We must transfer [nanotechnologies] from the West to Russia. We will cooperate in this effort with the leaders in this industry. We just started building our relations with the key countries: Israel, Finland, Germany, Taiwan, Japan, USA. Our major partner in this particular project will be United States".
