Perspectives

Data communications relies as never before on high-performance lasers for generating the pulses that travel down optical fibers. In his Perspective, Fasol discusses a recently invented laser--the quantum-dot vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. Made possible by breakthroughs in crystal growth, this laser operates at room temperature and may soon be commercially viable.
