Carbon Sciences Inc. (OTC PINK: CABN), focused on developing breakthrough technologies based on graphene, the new miracle material, today announced that it recently entered into an agreement with the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to fund the research and development of a new graphene-based optical modulator, a critical fiber optics component needed to help unclog the existing bottlenecks and enable ultrafast communication in data centers for Cloud computing.

Fiber optics technology is the backbone of the Internet. With the observed and predicted explosive growth of Internet data — as a result of Cloud-based services such as Netflix, Facebook, Google and many more — the fundamental speed limits of current state-of-the-art fiber optic materials are being challenged…

For optical data to be transmitted through a fiber optic cable, light from a laser beam must be modulated, meaning changed or pulsed, to encode specific digital data. Otherwise, a constant beam of light doesn’t communicate anything. The faster the light beam can be modulated, the more data can be encoded and transmitted. One of the very important attributes of graphene is extreme high speed and tunable conductivity. Incidentally, changing the conductivity of graphene also changes its optical properties, which means light passing through it will also be changed accordingly to encode digital data. It is these fundamental features of graphene that our research program aims to exploit in developing an ultrafast, low cost, and low power, graphene-based optical modulator…
